Default what do you think of this setup?

so I am starting to shop for my future setup. the money's tight right now but I will start buying stuff while I'm in Iraq this fall. That way it'll be sitting at home when I get back next year. Anyways, I want to go with a dart block for the future novi 2K s/c. The plan on most likely getting a CHP 347 dart shortblock, forged from the crank up. induction will be AFR 185's topped with a trick flow street heat intake (1,500-6,500RPM). The compression will be around 8.5-9:1 for the future addition of boost.

What do you think the power should be around? I think in the N/A trim even with the boost friendly compression it should put out around 325-350RWHP. Do you think this is a pretty good estimate or kind of low? I am thinking I'll run a 70mm TB and maybe step it up to 75mm when I add the S/C. I think this power and powerband should get me into the low 13's-high 12's once I get the driving down in a 3K# GT.

350 easily. Depends on how good you tune it. With suspension and drag radials, there is no doubt youll be in the 12's

I just want to say thanks for fighting for your country. I dont have the *****, and im thankful for people like you. My buddy is a marine stationed in Iraq right as we speak.

wrong 350 is going to be hard to see with a low comp motor built for Boost.
