You'll need the best headers, meanest cam, an X-pipe or OR/H and the fattest tires.

If you want to stick to a 5.0 you will likely need a power adder of some sort.

Forced induction or nitrous...

347, decent heads/intake/cam, call it a day. Or put a turbo/heads/intake/cam on a 302 and get the same result and pray the rods hold up.

the clutch and gear have nothing to do with horsepower. maybe it would be better to state an e/t goal instead, that's what it all comes down to. i've never seen anyone racing dynos. hp is just a number until you back it up with an impresive et or mph

You're taking this post entirely too seriously. Take a look at the OP's history and you'll see what I mean.
