Im planning on running Pro Charger F1 Intercooled..
This engine will have a Super Vic Jr Carb Intake set up with coils and MSD timing controler.
My plan is 900hp at crank or more. This will be in my 2700 to 2800lbs pro street camaro. A nice street machine. Planning on button up my car, than start on this engine. I like to get everything around for a build ahead of time.

Sounds like an awesome setup to me. Go with PRC AFTERMARKET casting Heads, and GM Performance Parts LS9 Headgasket Set. Other than that it sounds good.
