I've decided to build a 434 small block for our 87 Z24 Cavalier 1/4 mile drag car. I plan on using a World Product Motown block, 4340 4" crank, JE Pistons, 6" H beam rods, and also installing splayed caps. I'm shooting for at least 600+ hp and high 500 tq to be running on alcohol.

My questions are 1. What head should I be looking for? I'm thinking something like 227cc. Interested in AFR's but not sure if anyone has found that dart or any others performed better out of the box. Would 65cc combustion chambers be better for this? 2.Given the combustion chamber what would be the best compression ratio to achieve? I'm thinking somewhere around 14.5-1. But still not real certain. 3.Any idea what the starting point I should aim for with a cam? It's gonna be a COMP mech. roller and I'm looking for somewhere around 6500-7k shift point.

I know these are a lot of in depth questions but I wanted to get some opinions before I decided on my own. It seems techinspector is the man here so i'm sure i'll get some very useful info from you guys!
