Default Drag car ?s

I want to no how much hp could i put on a stock 351 windsor with stock internals? do you think 400hp would be to much? I think it would be possible with a 650 cfm+ carb, good intake, headers, ported heads, cam,and maybe a 100 shot of nos.. I hear good things about the c6 , except that it takes a crap load of power to drive it, so maybe a c4? i think a 3000rpm tork converter would be good weld a 8.8 read end what do you guys think?

400 HP is ok for a stock 351. I would go with a c4 instead of a c6(too heavy)
