550 is def. do-able with twins and a well built motor/car. J has over 600rwhp with his 4.3L vert.

On the stock block and stock 4.2 crank i might add.

yeah thats all i wanted to hear - i have a big big project closing at my work and i could get a HUGE bonus if we get it.. it should be within the next 3-4 months so im trying to start planning everything now.. i figture first thing i do is all the suspension/rear end work. What do you think is the best suspension set-up? i was looking and found the steeda G-trac suspension anyone have it? good bad?

And phil is at 550rwhp with a procharger. I find that crazy.

I have no idea on the suspension, but the rear end i can help you on. How much hp are you looking to put out?
