Or stock 5.3 will do it . If the boost is right it there won't be any problem making 700 on a m6 car

Stock bottom end 5.3l can get there easily. it would just cost you alot less then a 370 or aes 390.

AES does 5.3 shortblocks too for like 2899 out the door. that is not a bad deal. id love to see someone try it.
