Drag Racing Build! Help!
I need help building my car!
What I'm looking for: 530-600hp (pump gas) 750h-800hp with Nos and good gas!
Budget: 20k-35k
Plans: 383 Stroker and 6l80E tranny (Already have the transmission and Controller) "The transmission is going to be Upgraded to handle the power"!
I want it to be street friendly and be able to drive it 90 miles on the street to reach The Track! I want that Street car Status!
Looking for low 7's in the 1/8! On stock suspension!
The car is a 1996 Z28 auto!
I don't want to LSX swap it, But If I run into a lot of problems I'll consider buying a 2002 z06 or a 2002 WS6!
Not going to Daily drive it mostly track Focus!
I'll be doing Drag racing 1/8 - 1/4 and Roll racing!
Currently the car only haves a LT4 hot cam and Bolts on!
I'll accept recommendations or critics!

With those goals and a decent budget, you might want to find an experienced engine builder in your area. Someone that can tune what's built or has a relationship to a good tuner.
Just so you know, a 600 rear wheel horsepower car, on the street, is a real handful. A friend of mine had a 598 rwhp C6 Z06 and it was ferocious. (He recently traded it for a C7 Z06 with the LT4 supercharged engine..650 ponies from the factory.)

I assume you're talking about rear wheel horsepower...

Here in Puerto Rico there are some fast LT1's and some of them Running in the 1/8 7.0's I'll like to see low 7's or even High 6's! It sounds kinda selfish! But that's my Goal!
I sold some of my cars and want to try this "Racing Stuff" I need recommendations on good parts! I was making some research and apparently Eagle Cranks are not Good!
I want a engine to be able to handle 900+hp on Nos, Capable of 1000hp or near. But I won't be touching those Numbers!! Just to be Secure!!
I'll like to see 600rwhp NA and 800+Rwhp on Juice!

Build it for ET not dyno numbers. A dyno is just tool. Low 7's in the 1/8th is only low 11's in the 1/4. A true 800+ RWHP is low 9's in a 3,400 pound car. My son has a C6 Z06 with 606RWHP. My car put down 530RWHP on the same dyno and it weighs more. I've raced him from a roll numerous times to give him the advantage. It has never ended well for him.
On a 150 shot my car made 683RWHP and ran 9.71 in the 1/4.
My son's C6 Z06
My turd on the dyno
On the same 150 shot making a 9.71 pass

600 at the rear wheels through an auto trans is 700-725 HP at the flywheel, normally aspirated. With the heads, cam and RPM required to make that kind of power, not likely to be "street friendly". Can be done.... I think N2ODave got into the 700's with converted SB2.2 heads. Find someone who has won the Engine Masters Challenge to build your engine.
George Baxter ran 9.05 (= ~5.82 1/8th) in a 4,000# 30th SS convertible, with 900 rwHP (1,125 at the flywheel through a TH400). That was 16 years ago. You shouldn't need anywhere near your HP goals to run a 6.9 1/8th (=~10.8 1/4). There are guys running that fast on straight motor, nowhere near 800 at the rear wheels.
