i would get a custom destroked crank about 2.2" stroke, top it with some dominion 32v heads, solid roller cam with .700 lift and 370 deg duration and idle that sumbitch at 6 grand. peak power at about 12k, put a pnuematic shifted berrylium 8 spd gearbox behind it, then put it in a gt40 kit car.

-Mexican or Boss block bored to whatever's safe (~4.050-4.080)
-3.400" crank
-AFR225 or ported TFS SH
-Power in the 2500-6500 range - shift @ 7000 - driveable down to 1800 or 2000 RPM
-Solid roller w/ specs close to these (these are made up) - .700"/.700" 274/290 228/234 116 LSA 110 ICL
-4.56 or 4.88 gear
-G-Force T5 w/ .50:1 5th

Power adders are for girl scouts.

The car would run mid 10's and get 17-20 MPG on the highway or I'd burn it.

Boss block 11:1 347 with TFS R heads, TFS R box intake, 1 7/8" stainless steel longtubes, 3" H pipe, 3" cat back, 105mm TB, very aggresive custom hydroulic roller cam with link bar lifters. Figure around 7500 rpm, a little sluggish down low but a big gear like a 4.56 and a worked automatic AOD. Obviously light weight internals. This combo is similar to the guy on AFM's site with the n/a 347 9.90 cobra but a TFS R head as opposed to a heavily ported tfs TW.

Or i'll just take my current 347 i'm building and stop the bench racing bullsh it

Well since you said stock block and daily driveable then I am not going with all that huge inch big cam bs. I am going to go with a Mexican block, with a lifter valley girdle, and a DSS main girdle, ARP studs and bolts throughout, DSS forged 331 rotating assembly with pro lite pistons balanced to 0oz with fluidamper, and aluminum flywheel, TFS stage 1 cam, AFR 205 heads, TFS R intake, d&d T-56 6 speed trans with 3.55 gears, single turbo kit with precision PT-76 turbo and 15psi of boost, nx nitrous kit with 75hp jets. This should make a decent driver in that it's not radical by any means until you put your foot down and the boos comes in. A similar combo but with a smaller parts, and less boost made 512hp and 584tq in my brothers 94 cobra with 10psi and pump gas and the car still gets about 22mpg and is a daily driver.

Here are my future plans that I might be able to do in a year or two. I havn't even started researching engine specs yet, so I have no idea what specs for the cam or turbo I'll need.

Rebuild my stock bottom end with forged internals
I'm a cam idiot so I don't what specs I'll go with. Probably an Ed C. custom, unless I learn a lot more by the time I do this
AFR 185's or TFS heads
Medium size turbo, 12-15#'s of boost
Intake depends on hood clearance
roughly 400+RWHP


Throw it all in a Miata

Why are some of you guys (like snoozer) having cam specs with a high LSA? How does LSA affect performence and such? Why arent more people running the higher LSA cams now? I know a higher LSA helps ours idle better, so is the LSA mainly affect the idle? I have no idea...just guessing.
