niceguy678us you asked about a good combo that will get into the high 450-475 plus hp range

heres a combo that will get you what you want with a manual trans, Id suggest 4.11 rear gears

406 chevy small block 10.5/1 cpr

6" rods

195cc AIR FLOW RESEARCH HEADS

edelbrock super victor intake

750-800 cfm carb

1 3/4" full length headers

now carbs are easier to work with than EFI for new guys so thats why its a carb setup

you can get better mileage and similar power useing this holley system/intake if you chose EFI

550-650 1000 4-bbl square flange 36 lbs./hr. 91005201 91005301

this fits under the hood better than the steath ram and tuned properly makes more than enough power to reach your goal plus its laptop tuneable, either way you go youll reach your goal of a killer street/racing engine that remains at least reasonably streetable but has great power

wouldn't 4:11 gears be too much? I thought the light weight Z didn't have hardly any traction through the first two gears anyway with a built up motor? Wouldn't something around 3:54 be a better choice?

 

and as always, your wisdom and advice are greatly appreciated

 

you are the man

my ex-daily driver was a 75 2+2 and I loved to stay between 100, and 120 when possible. I know this is not safe , but I'm young and dumb and enjoying the hell out of it.

the 3.54 gears will be fine and give you a higher top speed but they will also cost you slightly if your useing slicks and drag racing
