Ok guys, building up a 351 motor for 99% street useage. I want to drive it everyday.
Heres the combo im proposing.
stock 351 block, w/ trickflow main girdle
forged KB pistons
forged I-beam rods
AFR 185 heads
GT40 lightning intake, or trickflow r series intake (which do you think would be a better fit?)
TFS stage I cam, (any other cams i should be considering?)
all the best hardware, arp bolts etc.
42lb injectors
And this will all get fed by anywhere between 5-15psi (ill probably start off with low boost and work my way up.) out of a vortech centrifugal unit.
I was thinking of using an air to air intercooler, or would a meth injection kit be a better choice?
This will be backed by a TKO 5 speed trans.
Looking for opinions on this, what do you guys think of it? Any of these parts a mismatch? or any parts that should be changed out for different ones and why?
Im looking to make about 450-500ish hp at the crank.

TFS stage I cam, (any other cams i should be considering?) is this a joke? all the best hardware, arp bolts etc.
42lb injectors (id say 60's}

If you are going to go through that mess of trouble, why don't you just make a 408 and call it a day, making things ALOT more simple... oh, and I agree with the comments above.. your combo looks like you're trying to build a 302, not a 351. If you're going to be spending this kind of money, don't buy a shelf cam.. That's just not smart.
