How do you know that the engine has 450hp? If it does, its obviously been rebuilt, and not much stock. Calling it a "vette" engine at that point is kinda stupid.

Head over to the theoretical board, they can help you. Just beware, its not always a pleasant place. A word though, its really impossible to tell. Suspension is a big player in the game. Traction is key. One car with 450hp can run a 11, another one will run a 14.

you're not going to get 450 hp out of a dual plane intake and reworked stock heads :shrug:

If they are VORTEC heads and an RPM Air-Gap, 450HP is nothing with the right cam.
