Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

The Sniper will support up to 700 hp and it is cheap but a Terminator kit gives you a lot more room for growth. A 4150 Sniper , 700 hp, Really, Curious about this reply, apologies if I'm reading it wrong but - if combo ABC produces 700hp with a carburetor, what makes you doubt that fuel injection can't or won't produce the same amount of power?

Not saying in is not possible, it is done with a carb. If I was shooting for a real 700 hp, a 4500 would get there much easier.

You're correct, EFI will get you there. We ran a bunch of back to back dyno pulls last summer with my low deck 470 engine. The Sniper setup lost a little bit of power over a 1050 Dominator but it still made well over 700 hp. This was a pump gas engine with Trick Flow 270 heads and a 260/264 solid roller. 700 hp is about the end of the road for the Sniper since injector duty cycle gets up into the 90's but as long as you have a good fuel pump it will do it.

HellCrate would be my first choice for the type of build you are looking at.

I am from the AWESOME old days also John, as you can see my old obsolete Toy 110 Super Flow bench, just my opinion because of block issues with all of our old stuff.

won't need anything too exotic to run mid 10's , but you will need it well sorted . And accept the compromises to be made . I went low10.50s @ 3690lbs with a solid flat tappet that was quite happy on the street , was only .600 lift , 505ci . Pump gas 11:1. Stock port CNC stealth heads , 4150 carb . This was short shifted @ 6000 But the block gave up at that point . That is the biggest issue you will have to overcome . My current 440ci has gone 10.70 with only .520 lift solid flat tappet . Again short shifting @6000 Converter and gearing are critical . And a big part of the compromise . Pick a goal and build back from that .
