The easiest route is bolting on a set of 6.0 heads, with the 72cc chamber. Lowers the compression for you some.
You can get other heads, and there are a ton of opinions on what to run.

My 347 has some p/p 6.0 heads on it, fwiw

alot of people run the 317 heads. but others like aftermarket heads because the thicker decks

Get the heads with the thickest deck possible. On a budget the 6.0 heads work but are production thin deck heads and beyond 750rwhp can let head gaskets go. They can only "cyle" and deflect so much were after many times the head gaskets won't hold. TFS makes "as cast" thick deck heads which aren't cnc'd; however make good power... then cnc'd TFS or AFR, ETP etc are a great choice.

Some run a stock used Z06 cam '02+ is the preferred one... has made 1000rwhp and has perfect driveability. They sell for under $150 all day long on here. Call some performance shops up and see if they have any laying around to sell.

LS6 intake, Z06 cam, and whatever turbo you want makes for a pretty easy big HP combo. Make sure your bottom end can take the power. Most stock pistons have the ringlands fail around 550-600rwhp even with a safe tune. They simply weren't designed to take the cylinder pressure.

Thats who i was talking about, just didnt remember his name. All i remembered is that he had a T/A that did mid 180s in the Texas Mile.

thanks guys for the help im pretty sure im ganna go w a custom cam and aftermarket heads just because of the deck thickness. also would it be worth it to put a 383 stroker in the car because its the same price as buying the a forged 346 setup


thanks,
matt

More cubes is always better just rember you'll need lager heads and turbo
