Looking for 550rwhp/500rwtq
Hello guys, time for a rebuild. My goals are 550rwhp/500rwtq nice weather daily driver and twice a year strip car. I want it to maintain it's drivabilty.I would like to go with a 355, stock ported heads, 218/230-114 xe cam, 9.0-1 cr, all forged with 12# from a p600b Ati. Will this be obtainable? Or do you think I will need more boost or C.I.? I would like to start ordering my parts on this little project. Thanks for any info ....John

I'm making 542 rwhp, 485 tq with a 355, 9.7 compression, 218/230/114 cam, milded ported heads with 2.0/1.6 valves and a 10# intercooled Vortech setup. I added a small shot of nitrous and the numbers bump up to 593 rwhp/596 tq! Very good street manners; it's all in the tune. Jeff Creech tuned mine.
