What do i need to get for my new motor
I am going to buy a new engine soon. I am thinking about the max velocity plus form beck racing engines. The info on that motor is here http://www.beckracingengines.com/SiteFrameSet.html
sorry, i dont know how to make that a link.
Anyhow, the guy said the engine should make about 430hp and 470lbs of torque before the roller cam and afr heads upgrade , both of which i would get. I want to know what all i need to change on my car to make this a good engine for me. I am a little nervous after reading that post about blackouts and hitting side rails and stuff. I want to know all of the suspension, exhaust, engine stuff that i need to do. I am planning on a new tpi base, runners, injectors, afpr, ported plenum, headers (not sure what size to get), and im gonna try to burn my own chip for it. I am also gonna get some 17x8 iroc wheels for it. I also plan on getting sub frame connectors. I know i am forgetting some stuff here so please let me know what you think i should get. I dont want to spin out all over the place or anything like that. This is my one shot at a hot rod for a long time so i want to do this right.
Thanks

oops, I cant believe i totally forgot to list what i currently have.
It is an 89 iroc with L98 and a maf.
I have a 4 speed 700r4 and 2.77 gears. It has about 160k miles on it. It is all completely stock except for some k&n filters and my downgraded wheels. For some reason the previous owner put base model 15" wheels on it. I have no clue why he would do that but he did. It also has t-tops so body flex is a concern for me.
Thanks again for any advice or info you have
