one more thing i forgot, 350 with heads/cam

all of these would be with rebuilding my engine since it has 117,000 miles.

Re: Need help on decision

355 H/C motor + N2O= cheapest bang for the buck
stock ported LT1 heads, custom ground camshaft and maybe a direct port N2O setup (maybe)

good bottom end and a nice N2O system and you could see 600+ to the wheels (easy i would think) with proper bottle pressure etc.

the boosted cars usually seem to be an uphill never ending bank account draining battle

transmission would become an issue at some point tho
