The best bang for the buck. A lot of forum members have it and love it.

Base HO is 355 HP @5250 RPM & 405 lb ft TQ @ 3500 RPM.

Sallee offer options to get it up to 443 HP @ 6000 RPM & 432 Ft.Lbs. @ 4500 RPM . http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/Phot...k_Pro-Flo.html

If you want get serious Horsepower (400+ HP) and not brake the budget - I highly recommend AR Racing. I paid $2995 for a 383/465 HP engine and it ROCKS!!! I put already 3000 miles and a couple of drag stip passes on the engine and it still runs perfect!! Highly recommend AR Racing!!! Their tech support is great too!!

:cheers:

Olivier
