Stock block lets go into two pieces by 500 rwhp. Purchase a proper block for starters or be less ambitious.

do you have any idea what 700hp feels like?...

my guess is that 450rwhp would scare the **** out of you...

no offense...but import math and REAL math are different. by SAYING 600-700, im betting you mean 300-350

thats an 11.90-12.20 car

500 hp is good for 10.80's

if you DO mean 700, we need to know what motor your planning to start with ?? a stroked 460 would be best
