I just bought my new 350 with vortech heads this weekend and im looking for a cost effective way to get 355-400 hp from it before NO2 im looking at keeping it around 9.5 to 1 compression. this is my daily driver so it needs to be reliable and run off pump gass

other than that i would like it if it didnt surge to much anyone have any sugestions or buildups theve seen online

Thankyou

 

If you have stock truck Vortec heads, you will need to peel them off and get the valve pockets machined deeper and go with much heavier valve springs to be able to run a big enough cam to get you to your target. You will also need good headers, see exhaust section for that. What intake system are you using? What cam is in it now? Are you going to run nitrous with stock pistons?

We need more information to help you out.

right now its a totaly stock 350 out of a 97 truck i realize ill need some head work done im planning on keeping it throttle body injection.. the NO2 im looking to run just a 100 to 150 hp shot the NO2 will be added onto the motor next summer

the motor had 110K miles on it and was prety well taken care of the lifters were making noise when the motor was pulled....
