Meth is coming but after the new motor is in. I might squirt a small amount between now and then though. Just to cool it down.

Nope. Just boost!! We're building a motor for him, that will be forged with a decent set of heads, and a blower cam. Lookin for 20+ pounds of boost.

Well Ed, with 20+ psi and a good set of heads and a blower cam what is the customers goal for how much horsepower this monster is going to make ?? What are some realistic expectations in your mind for the build ??

Sorry, it does have headers.
We'll build a forged motor, decent heads, probably o-ring it, shoot for 20+ psi, and about 800-850. This is still gonna be a 346 though, not a big motor.
