im just wondering how to get the quickest way to get 400+ to the wheels. ive been told alot of different things like just port and polish the heads Headers, 58mm throttle body... i would just like to hear some more ideas before i make the finnal decision.

 

wow...umm...full exhaust...cold air intake...

quickest way? nitrous

right way? Lloyd elliott or advanced induction heads/cam packages

 

Nos

 

Nawz.

No really though, H/C bolt ons, would do it, or nitrous oxide.

Money and lots of it. MONEY=HORSEPOWER

 

Hows the shortblock condition. If you have one with some life left in it and no issues, then yeah, go for a proven H/C set-up with the required supporting mods.

 

True, kinda lol 7k in my motor, under 400whp.


H/C/I package + all supporting mods = 400+ whp.

Or

Nitrous

 

h/c / bolt-ons

 

procharger...

 

You're going to need headwork and a pretty big cam.

 

how many miles on the shortblock?

 

150 shot of nitrous or around 7psi forced induction. Neither of which are a great idea on a stock motor.

 

Nitrous is the simplest way to add performance. Keep in mind, if you had two cars with your goal of 400hp, and one got there with nitrous the other with breathing mods (heads, cam, etc.) the nitrous car would be quicker. But only when the nitrous was on and the H/C car would probably be more fun as an all around driver.

Keep in mind the old saying: you can have it fast, cheap, or reliable but you are only allowed to pick two of three.

Lots of Money and time!! Lloyd Elliott heads and cam is a good place to start!
I have bought two sets of heads and Cams, from him and he is great to work with and have made lots of power! But that only to start!
Good luck!! NOS is the Fast way, for sure, but can be the most $'s in the END!!!

 

what if i were to get a 383 stroker kit and a top end kit and headers? and i was also thinking about getting a 58 mm tb.
