OK heres the thing when i first started thinking about building the engine my goal was to run low 11's or to get about 500 hp out of a 350 .030 over n/a. But i have been reading alot and heard that it would be better to build a stout 400hp and run a 100 shot. i really dont like n2o but i guess i could get to like it. and it i am certain i am going to use the 355 for it. i dont want a 383 or anything. i plan on getting all forged internals eagel 4340 crank h beam rods not sure on the pistons since im going to run n2o now i was going to use the brodix track 1's with a victor jr. intake. i just got a turbo 400 trans with a 3500 stall the guy said he had 15 passes on the trans and 5 on the coverter would this be able to hold the power and the rear is going to be a 9inch i was going to go with a 12 bolt but my brother has about 3 of the 9inch's laying around so i mise well use that.
