PROBLEM1 :Accumulating more and more money becoming restless.
SOLUTION1: Drop Money into ENgine and Rear
Solution 1 creates problem 2
Problem 2: How much hp do i want to make? 5-600hp Naturally Aspirated. WOW
Problem 3: (most important problem)
Since im aiming so high, would it be more beneficial to Purchase a new crate motor? (if so which one)
Or build up my l98 Hardcore?
Keeping in mind that i have no emmisions but i WOULD REALLY LOVe to have 12 mpg but if it comes to it im sure i'd make do with 11.
What engines should i be looking into? I've seen some beefed up zz4's putting out 400 some hp with victor Jr etc.... Is there a better crate engine that gm offers? or should i not even be looking into a crate enging and just buying new parts and getting a shop in my area to build one from scratch?

 

I would have it built. I have been doing some serious research into buildups and so forth my self and I would say if you want serious horsepower get a rebuilt L98 with one of the mini ram or super ram manifolds and have everything custom built to what you want. Cam, computer chip, exhaust, whatever you can afford.

Would the bottom end hold out?
to 600 hp?
or even 500
