Default Possible set up, anyone have it?

Alright, I've started to save the paychecks, and my brother helped me out with $1g.
I've decided to get the trickflow track heat kit, and then get it stroked out to a 347.
I think it would be pretty cool, and somewhere around 5-6k including the labor.
Does anyone have this set up? are their any pros or cons to this?
Thanks

A broken tranny after first 6 months. As long as you take care of it and dont burn em off every single day it should hold a lil while longer, but a stock T5 isnt known for its strength.

I was thinking about that too, and forgot to mention it.
The Tremec 6 speed will hold up won't it?
6 speed looks pretty fun

You know if you decided to take the carb route, you could get that engine up into the 400hp range pretty easily right? But i would imagine its probably like a daily driver and you need the drivability of EFI and the better gas mileage, huh?

Oh well, its a easy change if you ever want to.
