zz4monte

I know this might sound a little weird but I was wondering for my mild big block build up that I am not starting until I have my car setup before I build the motor, which will more than likely take a few years or until the zz4 dies. How will say a 530hp 540ci with 650tq or a more radical 496 with say the same horsepower and less torque effect 1/4mile times?These are some of the types of engine options I want to build for power.

Example: 540ci
10:1.1 comp.
Performer rpm air-gap intake
850-900cfm DP

Example: 540ci est.hp 530hp @ 5000rpm and 650ft torque @ 3500rpm
10:1.1 comp.
Performer rpm air-gap intake
850-900cfm DP
AFR 315cc heads
comp XE270HR with 1.8 roller rockers dur. 218 224 543 543 lift
2in hookers
est.17+inches of vac. at idle

496 est. hp 530hp @ 5300rpm and 600ft torque @ 4000rpm
10:1.1 comp.
Performer rpm air-gap intake
850 cfm DP
AFR 315cc heads
comp 280HR dur. 224 224 566 566 lift

These are just general guesses based on DTD and people who I have talk to with similar displacement motors. How would the torque difference affect 1/4 mile performance or even a 530hp 427 with even less torque.

I know I could slap a solid roller cam in a 496 and make 600hp pretty easy with a good set of heads but I want a motor that has little or no lope, runs of pump gas and needs little valve adjustments, make great vac. etc. I basiclly want my zz4 characterics with alot more power. The problem my engine builder tells me is that these motors with smaller cams will make 600-700ft of torque.I know it sounds silly and I want alot of horsepower with good driving manners for the street but is there any way to make 530+hp with out all that drivetrain shredding torque? I thought about a 427 because of the smaller stroke but I don't know if that is enough cubes to rich my hp goal? Destroking a world castings block? I want to run mid-low 11s with all these characteristics. Is it possible?

Sorry about that first post!!
