what do yall think about this setup?
im gonna have a 350,vortec heads,roller rockers,comp cams XR270HR-10...thats .495 / .502 lift (w/ 1.5RR) 218 / 224 duration @.050 and 110 lobe seperation. 700R4 tranny w/ a shift kit,stock converter and 3.73 gears. is the stock converter gonna hold me up at all?
what do u think about that setup? its not a daily driver,but will be drivin on the street on nice days as much as possible. im hoping to get this thing into the low 13's...high 12's would be great!
let me know what u think,pro's...con's...anything else is appreciated,thanx

Tuned Port Injected also? or a carb/carb intake setup?
ANYTHING will be better than a stock converter pretty much.
If it's not in the budget, it should be. Something like a Midwest, Neal, Precision Inductries "Stealth" or something stock sized will keep the price down and be very effective or you can go all out and get a smaller diameter piece that can be custom made for your combo and handle a LOT of power. Definately in the 2500-3000 range. 3.73 gears sound great but we'll need to know what kind of intake manifold because that will be a big factor in what this powerband is going to look like. 3.73's with a long tube runner intake like the TPI might be too steep, on the otherhand a higher revving intake or any other kind might want 3.73's or 4.10's even.
Sticky tires a must have..
Will the heads be modified correctly to accomodate that much cam lift? Out of the box they can't handle that much lift without valveguide machining and possibly even new springs(not sure about the springs myself)... Sounds cool!

o damn,im sorry i forgot to post the intake,its going to be a Edelbrock Performer RPM. and yes,the heads are going to be machined for the bigger springs and bigger pushrod holes. (im doing it myself,the tool to do it is like $36.00 from comp cams).
