What short block would you recommend for boost?

[agent007kimball]

I am new to these forums and I am looking for a new shortblock to be able to handle 500 rwhp with relative ease and reliability under boost. What would you recommend to handle such power that is good quality and a reasonable price? Thanks

yea yea....here come the "stock block can only handle 500hp" comments...But your only making 500hp for a short period of time within your rpm range, so as long as you dont race the $hit out of your motor, youll be fine. My ar gets driven a few times a week, open it up on the ighway a few times and tuck her away for the weekend...sorry had to preach

How much boost will it take to make it to 500 rwhp with that block?

About 10psi. You need good h/c/i combo too in order to hit the 500 mark.

I have a Trickflow Track heat intake manifold, F cam and Trickflow Twisted wedge heads already....would 10 psi take me to 500 hp with that?

347 with main support also is ok for about 500ish hp checkout chp

i don't think so maybe you could hi the 400rwhp but not 500, you just need more cubes

I just wouldnt trust a stock block with 500 rwhp. All those nice parts on a time bomb.

500 rwhp is attainable with a good tune on a boosted H/C/I car without much problem. I wouldnt trust it though on a stock block even with main support.

Your gonna be up there what does your fuel system have for upgrades? Thats a huge part. Make a whole list of everything, its easier that way.
