You will get more power for your dollar spending a little less on a smaller motor and boosting it. How much power are you hoping to make? We have our boost king series 370CI long block good to 800HP for only $5889. That will leave tons of $ on the table for the supercharger kit. Let us know if we can help you make any decisions on the build.

The low 700s will be no problem with the boost king 370 and a little boost. The 408 will work great as well if it is in the budget. Let us know if we can help you with the build.

I would do nitrous if money is to big of a main concern. A 390 or 370 will take care of your goals on boost. Huron has great deals on turbo kits.

What is your budget?
