You will need A well built 355 With forged pistons and rebuilt rods-ARP bolts . with a good set of heads like the ones Erik told me about . They are the RHS Vortec heads with the 2.02in/1.60ex valves . And these heads have the HD springs for up to 510 Lift . And for a camshaft the Comp cams XE274H . This cam is 230/236 dur at .050 with 487/490 Lift 110 L/S . For the intake manifold run the Weiand Stealth air strike . Also run a Holley 700 CFM D/P . You will also need a 3500 to 3800 stall speed and 410 Rear end . This 350 set up should be good for 12.60-12.70 E.Ts I still Like the more user friendly 350 375 HP build with the 3200 stall and the 373 gear Low 13 Teens build .
