It's going to be n/a for awhile until i get a transmission and rear end to handle the beating. I plan on putting low compression forged pistons in it (8.5:1 or so) balancing the rotating assembly, doing nice forged pistons, probably dss pro pistons. Oringing the head gasket , arp bolts. 180 protopline irons, ported gt40 by tmoss.

How much power could this setup take?

yea im still using the stock block.....lol My car doesnt get driven but once a week maybe. All the internals are being swapped into a beefier block this september. As a daily driver, your foot is in control. I have no problem driving my car anywhere, its you that decide how much power you want it to make.

YES, and much more, and not neccassarily, its more a preventive measure...cuz youll always want more power eventually.(like me for example)

Im not looking for near that much, probably 450rwhp daily driver. So eventually the blower will go on the 418 that is being built in the background.

So with a bottom end with girdle, arp bolts, stock reconditioned rods, ground crank, forged probe dished pistons, and balanced, will it handle 450rwhp daily driven?
