    what,s a safe boost on a mid 90.s 454

    I would think one of the big questions is the pistons? Cast or Forged and the detonation which is directly tied to the heat. Since you don't see them over there I would stick it on. Back it the day as the saying goes everyone ran the 6 71s and it was good. Now days there are 8s, 10, 12's, 14s...

    Kick Panel Speaker

    I have seen a brand called Q forms in the past that were supposed to be good. The sound quality is good better than in the door or dash corners.

    Help determine lift for towing

    The bottom line is GM designed any given truck to preform to a set standard, you can improve slightly but all of the components are calculated by the original standard. If the changes we are all discussing are made a 1500 is never going to preform like a 3500, you have rear end, brakes etc all...

    Timing retards on its own but distributor stays put, WTF ???

    If you scribe all your parts @ TDC then let your timing move, put it back on TDC and check all the scribes you should be able to see what does not line up. helping you further narrow your problem. You have to scribe everything.

    X2 and also add a good rear sway bar on the truck, if you are set on going up I would not go more than the 2" you mentioned.

    Top end kit

    If it runs good already meaning no problems, Headers, and mufflers a small cam, dual plane intake and larger carb. Some of the 350's had 350 hp from the factory should be easy.

    sentimental value = More money down the road. I am sentimental for my cash more than anything.

    10 bolt... stupid question

    You know the ring and pinion gears need to be shimmed to give you the correct wear pattern or the rear end will make all kinds of noise and the gears will wear out very fast? This is something you need to know how to do or have a professional do. It is not just a bolt in thing.

    Intake help

    will probably be a little shy of 500 because of the compression. Will run good you should be happy after the gear change.

    Intake help

    I would just port match to your heads and intake gaskets.

    Intake help

    with 10.2 compression you will not have any problem with fuel, I would run at least premium.

    Then single plane for sure, either will work great for you.
