[QUOTE="olgreydog7, post: 15500110, member: 65150"] Right now I have a big bore stroker with custom cams, ported heads, Sullivan intake, ect ect. Makes about 450 to the wheels and spins to 8 grand. While I love it, I built it to do track days, my 350 rwhp stock bottom end with FR500 intake and cams was more fun on the street. Just one more thing to think about. If you are just looking for a fun street car, an Eaton swap or even an entry level centri, like a P1SC(though I think they have a newer version now) would probably suit you just fine. Keep the boost around 8 psi and your stock shortblock will last a while. However, I would save and be prepared for an eventual rebuild if not do it all at one time. If you look at a lot of the guys on here who have made big power, either NA or boosted, most don't drive those cars much anymore or even sell them and get something else. That big dyno sheet is cool to have, but living with it day to day is something different entirely. Beware that these cars were not built to handle that much power, things will break. Do you have the budget for that too? Fuel system, transmission, rear end, brakes, cooling system, chassis reinforcement, tires, ect. [/QUOTE]
