it will take a bit of time and money!!! i've got 417 in the rear wheels, but there's quit a bit on it. it's bored 40 over with ported and polished windsor jr. stage 3 heads that match the port and pollished edlbrock rpm upper and lower intake.

Not too hard, nice heads, nice intake, CAI, Headers/mufflers, nice complete ignition system, some ppl say underdrive pulleys - although I didn't note a difference, that should bring your car close to 400 IF the engine is running properly and is nice and tight......Maybe 400....after that, it's just a matter of good combo, better injectors etc...

7K in the suspension???? damn dude (spike), what can you possible have under there suspension=wise for that kind of money ???? Even the Griggs GR-40 PRO system which is the premium is not more than 6K... -- I'm not questioning you, but I'm really curious.
