How much horsepower you wanting?

A quick note....... A bottom end is not where you get your horsepower. If your bottem end is nice and tight, Spend your money on top end... Cam/heads/intake/carb...Upgrade the engine and headers.. You could spend 10 grand on the bottem end and still have 250hp lol

Cam and heads are the pantie droppers. Throw in some compression.

Watch your compression ratios because you don't want to run race fuel in a daily driver.

The race fuel my engine runs is 17 bucks a gallon, And its not freindly with anything it comes in contact with. lol

Yeah I was going to buy it already balanced. And I don't want to run race fuel either. Already have an intake, I was wanting to run the comp thumpr cam after watching some YouTube videos. If I did the 501, got the heads ported and polished, threw in a cam and a bigger carb, and headers, how much HP do you think that'd put me at? I was happy with the idea of a mildly built 429 in the 400-450hp range. I'd just like to know how much more power that would make and if it would be worth he extra money.
