SheldonZ28 inspired me to throw some idea's around.
Scoggin Dickey Vortec Heads - I want them to handle .600 lift
Edelbrock RPM Air Gap Vortec Intake
Comp XE274 - 230/236 @ .050 .487/.490 110 LSA
Forged Crank and Rods
Hyper Flat top pistons
Holley 650 DP (Was told to upgrade to 750)
Built 700R4
3500 Stall
3.73 Gears
That should net me what in the 1/4? I wish they had SPDC pdf's for Desktop Dyno. The motor will most likely get a 100 shot as well. Any other part suggestions? Currently the car has 462 heads (ported/2.02-1.60), Torker 2 intake and Torker Plus cam. I'm open for opinions right now, just getting a feel for a possible new build up. Thanks!
torker cam and torker 2 intake? Yea, a second faster is right..
That combo is VERY common. Vortecs, RPM intake, and XE274. It's a super common setup. mid 12's is what i've heard, roughly 400HP at the crank sorta ballpark.
I wouldn't bother with a forged crank, all rods are forged, and hyper pistons sound good.
Cast steel crank and medium duty I beam rods, with hyper flat tops, and widen the top ring gap. Boom, you're done.
Spray it like a hot girl washing my Trans-am. hahha, aww...

Haha! I already have the forged stuff so I just thought I'd throw that in there. Mid 12's is exactly the "ball park" I was shooting for. Mid to low 12's N/A and throw some juice at it to run somewhere in the 11's. So is a dual plane better than a single?
