New guy to the site here, I figure this has all been discussed here before, and I hope to not seem like too big a moron lol but I'm planning to build a rock bouncer and would just like some food for thought! Me and a buddy love hill killing in our rzr xp's, but lately we've been itching to kick it up a notch! Though I am serious, right now I'm in the planning and gathering parts phase and I'm in no real great hurry. I'd like to learn all I can to give me the best shot at getting a decent build without having to go back and redo a bunch of stuff I'm not happy with. Right now I've got access to a set of hp 60's with kingpin knuckles and a np 205, I figure that'd be a decent platform for a modest bouncer, I'm not really looking to build a competition buggy by any means, just something to have fun with. I'm figuring on trying to run a gm 5.3 with some sort of compatible transmission. Basically ive got it in my head I'd like to be in the 400-500 horsepower range.. Now I'm sure there are plenty on here who know what works and what won't, and that's what I'm looking for! Trying to run that sort of hp range, what sort of transmission should I be trying to run? Gear ratios and tire size combos that will work great together? Good options on coilovers? As far as the engine goes, could I run that sort of hp with cam, heads, high compression, while still using stock injection setup and ecm tuning? If so, who should I deal with as far as tuning goes? Hopefully these don't seem like dumb questions to everybody, cause I'm sure there'll be more! Any information will be appreciated cause I'd like to learn all I can so hopefully I can spend my dollars in the right direction when I do get started!
