408, 418, or 454 Well my IROC I believe got crushed so now I'm looking to build another. I goal is 8.90s on spray in a 3200 car. I was going for a high compression 408 with mast ls3 heads, and super vic efi intake controlled by FAST EZ efi. RPM T56 was in order to handle the 1000+ hp setup. Well now since I won't be out next race season and still have my lq4 block. So now I just will build a drive train. Should I get a L92 block and go with that and save 100 pounds and do a 418 or just go 454 add 30 lbs. The 454 will probably over power the t56 because either size I do will be max effort for a car that will be street driven? And whats the strongest stroker kit? TMS has one thats good to 1500 hp. This will be a nitrous car. Please don't ask about the car Like what happened.

If you got the cash go 454. More cubes the better!! It's tricky making a T56 car hook especially one with a 1000 horses.... that's where a suspension expert go have to come in regardless trying to run a 8.90.
