Re: ok going with the 422 but which.. You're going to need a LOT more than a 26" ET Street to hook up the power of a 422! It will kill those tires off of the line. You need a 28" slick, and I'd also go with 4.10's. Which Thunder cam are you referring to? No matter what, the popular ones are too small for that size of an engine. You have a lot more volume to fill with a bigger bore and longer stroke. I'd go with something in the mid-to-high 23x duration @ .050" if you're looking for something somewhat tame, and I'd look at cams over 240 degrees of duration @ .050" if you're wanting more HP. Are you not going to run cats or a muffler? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> You'll reconsider that after you realize how loud the car is going to be. Be sure that the x-pipe you list is 3" off of the headers.
Who's building the engine? I'm not going to comment on what it would run because we first have to see who's building it, which cam you go with, gearing, etc. Also, I have no idea how well you can drive at the track, what the conditions will be like, how much the car will weigh, etc. There are way too many variables to consider to just pull a # out of the air.
