I know you are. Point Chuck was making was, you can still make the power and run on pump gas, to get into mid 12s easy with a 350. I'm just trying to figure out the build. I know the LT4 Hot cam and Vortecs is an excellent combo. A neighbor says I'm foolish to build one. Said to just get a crate motor and be on my way. True, and I can find a GMPP crate motor that makes 425 HP but it costs 5500 bucks. For what I want I think I can do better. Trick however, is finding that low dollar complete vortec truck motor, or a reasonably priced 350 short block. Can save the costs of machining for the 383 too.
