Exclamation Opinions please!!!!!

Ok so i talked to chp today about a new longblock, this one to be exact.http://www.coasthigh.com/product-p/1...s-f5.1l-lb.htm
i was told that it should easily handle 8-900 rear wheel hp, despite what the website reads. what are your opinions about this motor and company.

please,any motor suggestions greatly appreciated.

btw, i want to end up with a predominant street car unsure on a tranny and defiantly going turbo and maybe a smaller shot of nx.

also i found this

You have plenty of options to choose from. You just need to do your research. You can always save money by buying a shortblock and then your heads. They charge you out the *** for the labor. Check out MMR for your shortblock and foxlake for you heads. As for the tranny, look into the TKO.

I think you should go with a T-56 six speed. Viper spec parts in her for more durability. I dont know how she would handle those power levels though.

I would not like an auto personally.

Im not sure on power levels for most transmissions. the only reason i liked an auto would be keeping the boost up. considering i want to go 76mm i would only like to spool it up once ha.

keep em coming

you are going for 900 rwhp and driving it on the street?? The trans should probably be a powerglide. With that much power you won't need all those gears to go through, it will hurt your times
