This is what I am thinking. I am going with a 402 or 408 stroker and AFR heads. Thats were I am now. I need opinions on the rest.

The trucjk is primarily a tow vehicle and you can look at my sig for the mods I have now. I would like to ditch the turbo , because of all the little headaches Ive had with it, and go with a N\A motor but I need big torque numbers. Here is the kicker, I live in California so it has to pass smog. What kind of numbers can I expect?

If you have 1st hand experience can you chime in on what would work and what is a waste? Thanks!!

1.85 rockers?

FAST or Ls6 manifold?

Bigger TB?

Cam \ Specs????

TQ verter?

Headers??

Anything Ive missed???

Im getting nothing but "Get a Radix" on the other site.
