I am hoping to get to 400rwhp with my setup. I made 351rwhp with shorty headers, and homepoprted heads.
I am adding/added:
Stage 2 heads
Jet Hot LT's
Dual Carsound cats
Mufflex y-pipe
52mm TB
ZO6 MAF
AFPR
I am hoping that with those mods and a new tune I can pick up the 50rwhp.

I'm looking heavily into having my heads ported by Lloyd Elliot, complete with 2.00/1.56 valves and all. Heard a lot of good things from people who have had work done by him, and he seems confident that his heads can make the power I'm looking for.
Right now, the tentative setup is...
Intake
Hooker Longtubes
LM Exhaust or true duals, not sure on that yet
XE 230/236
Lloyd Elliot Head Porting
58mm TB
How does that sound for a start people? What else will help me on my quest to 400rwhp? Also, what do I need in the way of fuel delivery for the above setup? And another question, how does the XE230/236 respond to nitrous applications? Not something I'm definitely going to do, but could be possible further down the line. And also, along with the fuel question, what fuel system components would allow me to be able to support the above setup as well as a 100-125 shot of nitrous on top of that? IF I do decide to go nitrous later on, I'd rather buy all of the things I need the first time instead of buying the minimum and having to replace things later on. Thanks for everyone who's helped out thusfar!

From what I understand, the factory crank can handle up to 450-475 hp... at the flywheel. You'll be going over that with N2O. Not sure about the gains you would get from the 58mm TB...
