Other than the SC what good quality parts should I be looking for. I have a 400 block and some 440-1 heads/intake/ 1.6 rockers. I would be very interested in hearing some constructive suggestions to build a motor in the 700-800 hp range including best choice for the super charger. Street/strip '63 dodge post car. Predominantly street driven. Thanks very much, Mike. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm136/wings440/P8050125-1.jpg "Uhmmmm......I got nuthin'."

I'd like to know what cam choice is best as well as any other tips. I'd like the motor to live a long healthy life and the option of horse power without having to utilize valve train pounding components is perfect. I see some of the hyd. roller cams for a sc application are only about .530 ish lift ? Also, as I mentioned , the 440-1 heads will be a good match? Thanks for the responses so far. http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm136/wings440/P8050125-1.jpg "Uhmmmm......I got nuthin'."
