blown 355? looking at possibly buying a trans am with the following motor:
350 bored to 355
Vortech V-2
Vortech FMU
Vortech T-Rex in line fuel pump
TPIS Airfoil
CC306 cam
Crane 1.6 roller rockers
Crane Hydraulic Lifters
Crane Valve Springs
AFR street 180heads
9.5:1 Compression
Fireball HI-6R ignition
stock coil and optispark
AC Delco R44LTS6 spark plugs
AC Delco plug wires
Hooker Super Comp Long Tubes (1.75" primaries, 3" exhaust)
Flowmaster 3" catback system with a catalytic converter
My question is, this is a stock rebuilt bottom end. How much bost should i run, and what kind of power should i expect with a good tune? Also what injectors would you guys reccomend? Might also swap in a better blower cam. Thanks guys

any other opinons? Only a couple thousand miles on the rebuild (new parts), and 104k on the chassis. I guess the 9.5:1 compression is really helping here, i just dont wanna blow the motor.
really considering this T/A for $4500

$4500 is cheap for what you are getting. Keep the boost down and get a good tune and it should last you a long time. I am thinking 6-7 pounds if he didn't go with forged pistons and better rod bolts.
