looks like you have a really nice list and build going there. Cant think of anything off the top of my head other than a good set of tires/wheels if its going to see a lot of track time. Good luck with the build and let us know how it turns out!

Yea, I was thinking about getting a whole other vehicle. Maybe a a c5 z06 but then i started to think about it. Im going to get a $25K Vette and then what? Go crazy all over again with a new setup and make that block forged with heads/cam and built tranny and all this other stuff. Its going to get expensive! So i decided to just build my car up. It might end up costing just as much as a c5 but its going to be alot faster than a stock z06 and be a much better build.

Whatever the motor car handle safely. I was thinking in the 10-15psi range? Im not sure. Im new to the forced induction game. I know that 5-8 psi is the range of a stock block, so im sure the right forged setup can handle double, right?

If fuel and tune is spot on a well built forged short block (like the one your looking at from Speed Inc) can certainly handle 10-15 psi. What are your goals for the car both Hp wise and track wise?

I forgot about the catch can! Thanks!
Im looking for the setup to be in the 600+rwhp range. As far as times go, 10 seconds for sure.

If you keep the boost limited to 16 psi, a stock based head such as the Patriot's work quite well. For you 370 cubic inch engine I would use Patriot Stage 2 heads instead of the Stage 3 heads. The Stage 3 heads on a 370 will typically lose too much bottom end power.
Here is a 346 cid with Patriot Stage 2 heads that is making 740 rwhp with a very mild cam, this is with shorty headers and factory cats to boot!
