im gonna have a 350,Edelbrock Performer RPM intake,vortec heads,roller rockers,comp cams XR270HR-10...thats .495 / .502 lift (w/ 1.5RR) 218 / 224 duration @.050 and 110 lobe seperation. 700R4 tranny w/ a shift kit,stock converter and 3.73 gears. is the stock converter gonna hold me up at all?

what do u think about that setup? its not a daily driver,but will be drivin on the street on nice days as much as possible. im hoping to get this thing into the low 13's...high 12's would be great!

You won't kill the stock converter, but it will kill your performance.

What carb were you planning on running?

those vortecs will need to be upgraded to stronger springs to handle that cam

you need a stall convertor badly.

if you do the springs, do the rods too. stronger is better.
