no no...not 351....393 or 408. An older guy i work with, his oldest son has a 408 in his 86 Hatch....Whew! Damn that thing will put you in the backseat when he punches it. He's got a Novi 2000 on it and pushing 15psi and thats easy with a 2000. All forged bottom end and a full race prepped C6 and a narrowed 9inch with 4.56 gearset, he didnt say how much he was pushing but it had to be like 850-900at least. He told me when he first got the engine built and the supercharger on it and launched it a couple times at the strip he actually cracked the metal on the piller on the right side of the windsheild. And he drives this thing on the street and to work sometimes. I was like Holy ****!!!! When he took me for a ride in this thing, said he can pop the tires on a good day with some traction. Made me want to go home and beat my dog. Definatly go with a 393 or 408.
