What engine to buy?
We are going to go big on the cam and SDPC has more then proven them selves to us 
I am not saying the others are not good but I saw no problems with us kicking out over 600HP for over 13 miles in Marks car
You ever want to put a Smile on an open road racers face just squeeze the throttle at 100MPH and put the tires up in smoke like we did!
Did I mention we ar going BIG on the cam? Bordering Solid territory

It's looking like a LS7 based 440ci stroker.
Complete LS7 top end with cable tb, huge a$$ cam and ellis's magic to make her run right.
I'm crossing my fingers to put out 575RWHP n/a. Is this possible?
Who want's to start a bet pool on how many full throttle launches STOCK 10 bolt will last behind this setup?
I'm thinking 5 launches max.
I tell ya it'll be kinda wierd having a 10 bolt abortion and my having a huge smile on my face as it happens!
Anyways i'm excited as hell to get this thing here and installed. I figure while it's out a LS7 clutch will go in as well as poly motormounts.

Here's my sugestion:
Forged Iron Block 370
Baby Cam (236/236 113lsa .580" lift)
Ported 317 heads
83lb injectors
Big *** fuel Pump
Topped off with a Turbo Tech Hairdrier kit
It'll put you a little more in the hole (but not much) and deliver 800+ at the wheels.

Nice! I think you'll like that better.
SDPC do I get commision for the up-sell?
You guys go and blow a gasket because I suggested that he would like a different setup. I never di'ssed Scoggins. I suggested another opinion. Always good to get more than one point of view. Maybe I helped maybe not. If you dont like my advice then put me on ignore. Thats what I do to the guys I dont like.

I think he wanted advice from people that run a car and not a dyno.
Relax a bit, people appreciate your input, but you can't run down a particular setup when you don't know his goals. That's like if he was asking for a good heads/cam package you came in and said WTF? that builds no torque, you need a 402.

From: LT1 land...the "409" of the 90s!
4.3 VORTECH V-6 Naturally aspirated!!!! Good fuel economy, all the RICERS would think you are PIMP... Pretty Fly for a white guy!!!
Ok, back to the very first post here. Almost positive that's what i'm going to go with. Just trying to figure out what upgrades to get now, need to get a cam picked out with supporting hardware, etc etc.
Would love to know if that motor includes the fuel rails and injectors as pictured.

You gonna stick with the L92 complete? I still say it's the best bang for the buck for a street car. Call Rick@Synergy for the cam if you go with the L92 heads/L76 intake. He will spec you something. I still think that setup is atleast $3-4K cheaper than the LS7 route.
Or you can do what I did and buy the L92 shortblock and get some cathedral port heads (TFS235's). The exact same engine with fairly mild cam in the dyno section put up 540-550 rwhp with gobs of torque.

Which experts are you quoting? LOL.
And a 113lsa on a turbo car works just fine

If you have a well matched turbo for the engine and application, it is a different deal altogether. A well matched turbine housing on the turbo will usually work well with cams with a lobe separation in the 112-114° area.
