What are your goals? I don't see why you couldn't spray that engine, but it all depends on what you want to do.

Man, spray that motor and get rolling! That setup with a good converter on a 175 shot will get you there easy.

I have seen cars with less cam and head than what you posted run 10.50's all day on a 150 shot.

Spray it and don't look back. Depending on the rest of your setup, you should be able to do that on a 150-200 shot.

Your car runs high 10's NA now correct. I would think nitrous would get you where you want to be with only a 150 to 175 HP shot.

Right now I have a Performabuilt 60e stg 2 with their 3600 stall I might swap out for a 400 though. Also looking for a 9'

You should be good with their stage 2. I don't see the need for a Th400 but you will need that 9".
