I have pretty much decided on a Livernois 416 Pro series short block with roughly 10.7:1 CR. Running around 510 to 540 rwhp right now depending on which tune and what octane fuel I am running so anything 650 rwhp or over will be a big boost in performance.
Depends on your goals. Personally I would rather have big cubes, which may limit boost, and make up the difference with compression. I don't live at the track, so for street driving I think it will be great. Seems like you and I have similar plans with our builds. If someone is trying to build a track car for the best e.t. possible, it seems Jamie's car is the gold standard.
