Default Which Shortblock??

Well guys im looking into building or buying a shortblock soon. Im looking to do a turbo kit on the car, so what would be a good place to start..here are my goals with the car.,

-600 to 650 rwhp on pump (93) gas

-Completely streetable (could drive everyday and get good gas mileage on highway)

-something that i could up the boost and put some race gas in and make over 750 rwhp

So guys give me your comments, whats the best shortblock to go with, and who is proabably the best when it comes to forced induction motors? Thanks

send a message to racer7088 you can see pics of his stuff in my sig.he'll set you up real nice and is very reasonably priced.for a street car id go alum block so u could do either a 347 stock crank callies rods diamond,JE,weiseco pistons or if you wanted to make it easier to make more hp on pump depending on how big of a turbo you go with you could do an ls2 block for some more cubes.

Depends on how soon you want it. If you have time, go with a more reputable company, like W2W or LME.
I personally went with SDPC, because they had the motor I needed in stock, and I had it about a week after I ordered it.

I went wit SDPC for my forged 347 and I couldn't be happier! Give Matt @ SDPC a PM and watch him work his magic. He gave me the best deal out of all the forum vendors I contacted, and was the friendliest, and fastest every time to reply back to me. Just give him a call or PM, I promise you won't be disappointed
