For 500 horse from a 429 you don't need the supercharger. What weight of car and what rear end gears are we talking here? Makes a lot of difference on the parts selected. IMO the best out of the box heads for a BBF or the Edelbrock Performer RPM heads with the matching intake. I run an AED 800 mechanical secondary Holley built for E-85 on the street. For drag racing we run a 1100 Dominator set up by a local carb guru with the John Kasse design SCJ heads and a custom ground Comp roller--does 500hp,505tq at the wheels!

What I had in mind was about 390 rearend gears and the weight would be about a stock 1990s mustang convertable for weight plus extra for the big block maybe even 400 to 450 hp but it needs to be driveable in New York City traffic and I want it to be strong enough to handle 5.0 s and 4.6 mustangs and not leave me looking ashamed of myself and the short block i found with most of goodies will it be strong enough for my project ????
