Didnt really want to post this here. It was supposed to be a supprise car. Oh well, I need the advice.
I am going to be building a race motor. I am going with 540CI. With the 540CI, Ill be looking at around 8.5:1 compression with a set of 119CC heads. I am looking to throw an 8-71 Weiand blower (Id LOVE to do 12-71, but funds do not permit me to). N/A I am aiming for between 700-800HP (not sure with the lower compression).
Would 8.5:1 be too high/low to run an 8-71 w/ around 8lbs? I was shooting for ~1,000HP, but whatever I end up, will be fine for now.
This is what the short block looks like as of now.
