i want to get near 8k RPMS. anything above that i doubt i could afford the neccessary parts in a timely manner or the expense of maintaining it. i looked at a similar build to what im lookin at doing...he's running 11.4's n/a and 10.9's on nitrous iirc. 9.75 compression. so i'm sure he's netting around ~350+hp n/a to the wheels

lol, yep. i told them where i wanted to be and they said "see russel's build" lol 
just a lil disappointed the cheapest 1 3/4 LT into 3" collector are race tuned hooker headers.
i dont wanna pay 800 for kooks headers. lol
right now i'm trying to collect all the info i can on tuning stuff. right now i'm debating but quarterhorse is sounding good to me.

Sounds like your going to build a modern Boss 302, big heads and alot of RPM. Good luck man.
I've always told myself that when I do my head/cam swap I'm going to post over at SBFT so that can get my ideas pulled through the ringer by Jay and such. You think you know alot about our motors till you head over there and feel like a child who just started driving.

I know man, I'm a member there but I just lurk. Your right though, half of everything I have ever been told is contradicted on that site. It's a very valuable tool.
