RE: My engine has arrived!!!
I could go to 650-700 range if i wanted but then other **** would start breaking then engine is rated up to 900HP. I am tuning it for 550RWHP and staying there.

Since you're aiming for 550RWHP, why an iron shortblock? I hear the stock aluminum block is capable of 700hp? all you had to do is order a forged rotating assembly and be done! I'm going F/I and planning the same..except with a lower compression, about 8.5:1 for some 14-18psi of boost.[sm=badbadbad.gif]

Suh weet!!!
I've thought about going with a similar setup, except with a stroker kit which displaces 5.0L.

It would have been that easy if my stock block didnt have two fist sized holes in it. I needed a new block and for a new aluminum short block it was 4695 with a 1000 dollar core charge so i went with the iron block insteadmaybe the next time it chunks a rod it wont go through the block.
