Would this CRUSH 'stangs

I'm going to build me a 350 to put in a 3rd gen. It will have a stock crank, rods and flat top pistons. I have a set of 2.02/ 1.64 camel humps, a hyd. roller cam w/ 234/244 dur. @.050 &.480/.488 lift, rpm performer intake, 650cmf holley double pumper, MSD ignition, headers and 3.73 gears w/ 2500 stall.
how does this sound?

Why not make it a 383 so u can be sure to not only crush those mustangs but also anybody else even a brand new Z28.

It should take a stock 5.0 but not much after that. Believe it or not, 5.0 Mustangs can hit 12s with ease.

stroking the smallblock will not yield any more power.use the money instead on some high compression pistons(if your going n/a)or nos or drivetrain.

Alot of folks would agree that if you go with a 383 stroker(380+horsepower)you will beat just about anybody you meet up with not just 5.0 rustangs!!I just beat one of those rustang gt's on the highway . He kissed my ****! I am sure he won't tell anyone he lost to a 3rd gen Z28.
