as a guide my engine spec is

t34.55 -31 actuator
55lb blacks
rs500 cooler
standard engine & head
msd chip

and with this spec i'm expecting between 350-380bhp


this quote is more realistic ^^^.... 420-430 requires light head work and on the limit of a T34... if not too much... for a 400-480 spec i'd say a GT30...

if your wanting 450ish i'd recommend pistons, rods, head work, oil pump, gt30 fueling to match as in pumps/injectors....

lets face it 400+ starts getting expensive run 400hp safe and just enjoy it imo...
