Hey Guys

i have a VS ss with a 304 v8. it has a STA type supercharger ( its a Brennan Racing Nz one, looks like a sta or vortech), it got a T56 and different dif gears not sure what but its not standard. had to get cali don't cause speedo was way out. I recently got some oil leaks fixed cause it was using a bit of oil. no that its not leaking have found that it is burning oil in a big way. I want to get it rebuilt, but i Live in NZ and not many places deal with these anymore they are only interested in LS1-3's

- is it worth getting it stroked to 5.7?
- how much would decent parts cost come to? and is there anyone that would ship to nz?
- is port/polish worth it?
- recommend what type of injectors and fuel pump also to get done? running standard at the moment.

Cheers

Jayden

Firstly, you should try and figure out how the oil is being lost. I'd be looking at the supercharger for potential issues first. Might just be a damaged seal letting oil into the intake.

What's the compression like? Does it start easily? Any noises?
