900 hp. wow thats pretty high i would go with the 4v make it easier on you, thats a hell of a goal tho and i do hear you jj03 you always see people wanting to build 1000 hp monsters and dont realize how hard it actually is. how bout some realistic goals (not that 900 hp is unrealistic but i mean damn!) like 400-600hp maybe sorry to ramble

4:10 is a lot of gear for 900hp. might wanna go a lil higher like 3:55 or so

qa1 is a good choice, but you might wanna look into doing the 9" swap. little bit better insurance as far as the rear goes. are you gonna have the tranny built?

i see it all the time. half the time, these kids ramblin on about how 500hp is slow havent even drove a 400hp car much less know what 500hp feels like. i guess i just hear a lot of people talking out of their *** and dont know what they are talking about, may not be the case with OP but usually it is.
