For the street I would go with the 422 hydro-roller motor with a decently big hydro-roller like the Colonel's. I'm sure with your connections at MTI you know a good running hydro-roller cam for the 422s with all they've done. The solid roller 382 could be as fast or maybe faster but wouldn't be as nice. The 422 with a solid roller would be even faster. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />

Nine Ball,
Are you planning to go with the new all bore primarily for nitrous?
I am just curious as to what your plans are <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
If you are planning on hitting a big shot of juice then a slightly smaller bore with thicker higher quality sleeves, and better head studs and gaskets would be more beneficial.
Cheers,
Chris

Naturally Aspirated power is always my priority. Nitrous is just the icing on the cake <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

It sure woulda been nice if you were more on MY schedule....

This would have been VERY tempting to me a few months ago, but now that I've gotten the StageII heads, cash is a little short.

I guess I'll just enjoy my current setup for a while, then upgrade to the 382 or 422 later this summer.

How would the T2 work in a 422 compared to the R1?

The 9 and 10 second group is going to be very competitive this year! Going to be an exciting time to be racing!

Motor is still available to first buyer with the $$$$

Scotty, sell your heads and buy this setup instead <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Not sure on how well the T2 would work in a 422ci setup. I'll bet it idles nice in that motor!

Does it come with Tony's hidden N20 kit???

If it doesn't I don't want it <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

The solid roller thing seemed real intriguing when I heard of the new shaft setups that were supposed to be really streetable. Only saw a few cars with them and I wouldn't call them streetable.

I'd say go 422 Hydraulic and try out those Noszzles from NOS, those things sound kick ***.

Hell if your made of money grab a C5-R block and go 454.

BTW, I'd still entertain options on my motor, 346CI, Lunati Pro Billet Rods, Ross Custom pistons, ARE Stage III heads, and a bunch of other crap done to it, low compression for turbo/blower setup.
