Would be a little cheaper, and my car has 395 to the wheels and it i sa lot of fun to drive, i do plan to forge the motor and go for more but i see 550 being the limit for me

You can get a kit from tork tech. Its a adapter kit that allows 2v's to throw 4v twin screws on top. So yes you can. With that big of a blower and a good forged blcok with 2v heads that have a good port on them i dont see you having problems hitting 600 rwhp pretty easily

I think building up your 2v is a smart move. All you need is a strong rotating assembly, custom cams, a good flowing set of heads/intake, a solid fuel system, and 15-20 psi and you should hit 550-600 pretty easily

whats the consequences on me running a low compression rate and blower cams n/a.. I'm going to go twin screw but think i want to wait til my next bonus installment. and could I make 450-500hp straight motor with stage 3 heads/cams, meth injection and a good tune?

you'll never see those numbers n/a from a mod motor, only newer ford motor you can do that with is a new 5.0. with a high compression stroker shortblock, trickflow heads, aggresive n/a cams, and a good intake you can get around 400whp but that's the limit i've seen.

but anyways, you can build a stock compression forged motor(9.5 cr) which is still blower friendly, with some blower cams and keep it n/a with no i'll effects. that's what i'm doing. forged shortblock with stock compression and blower cams, and i dont plan on having a blower for another year or so.

yeah like ctgreddy said build the shortblock for around 9.5:1 and you'll be fine with doing everything like heads/blower cams, etc until you get the actual blower
