You could do Heads/Cam. You could have it forged and do a stroker and some N20.

Well after reading up on some of past posts here. I am thinking about just port/polish heads and intake maybe by l.Elliott? What kind of price does he charge? I have no idea what cam or how am going to get it tuned as there is nobody close by that does custom tuning! What kind of stall should i go with and gears for a 12 bolt?

if it going to be a crusier, go turbo, trust me, that car will so easy to do and you can make 600-700 rwhp on a mild set-up and pump gas!

For your set up its going to have to be custom built, a 355 LT1 with a LE3 package and some gas would make over 500rwhp +
