[QUOTE="95PGTTech, post: 8758452, member: 55701"] so you'll be more around 600 baseline on 91 then. there are a couple options...ported blower, 298 stroker with the stock block, ported heads, cams, e85, etc. you'll still make 700 EASILY without breaking the bank. if 700 is all you want, I just don't see why you're overcomplicating it so much. not that there is any use really for more than 450whp on the street-you're already boiling the tires through the first three gears with a positive displacement blower at that power level. i've seen a lot of customers go down this "super build" or "super unique" road. there are very, very few that have the time, patience, help, ability, and giant issue...MONEY to make it to their end goal. and 90% of those who get there turn around and sell the car quickly, because they realize that the car and setup they thought they wanted isn't what they wanted...it's too powerful, too unstreetable, too noisy, too unreliable. start simple...go find a full exhaust, LTs with a catted X, a 2.3L whipple (gen 1 or gen 2 doesn't matter, despite whipple's advertisements) and get it dynod. make 500-550 to the rear tires and see if that satisfies you. then go from there. you have this idea in your head that you need $20-$25K to have the car you want when really you might discover in the long run $5K got you there and what you really wanted isn't what you thought you wanted.
