Kind of broad info but if I was to guess, I would say the motor will make 400-420 crank hp, going through a TH400 and IRS I would think it should get around 300hp to the wheels. Thats enough for 12.70-12.80s with the right converter. I would stay away from a B&M 2400 though unless you already have it.

Not sure why, but you are building a new engine capable of over 500HP and you want 400HP ? Up the cam and compression and build it right
