Stroker motor for sure. I think there are alot of H/C guys making that much torque at the wheels.

Looking at your sig. I noticed a few things:

If your going to use AFR 210s, you are probably going to have to stroke the engine out. Those are some serious heads.

You are not going to make great amounts of torque or power with the LT4 Hot Cam even with hogged out LT4 heads.

GM847. Its a big cam. That would most likely net you some 380ish RWTQ with the right heads (ported LT1/LT4s) and accompanying boltons.

its not me that minds the big cam its my wallet, i dont want to waste a whole tank of gas driving to/from school every morning and afternoon. want to get about a week or a week and a half out of one tank. I know it will be closer to a week though. BTW we get high octane for the price of md grade on fridays . and i dont want to kill the neighbors ears in the morning, i dont think they would complain though
