Why not get a forged 402 or 416? If your going to spend the money, might as well get more cubes, the cost will be about the same.
I'm hoping to get around 670+ with a 416 and T-trim A&A is working on for me.

I think you can safely pump 8 psi on the street with a good tune without going fordged. At least, that's what I'm planning. If she blows, she blows. I've got a 441 cid in the planning stages, but until I can get an iron diff case, I'm playing conserative.

. You can build the bottom end to hold pretty much anything you throw at it. Along with all that power you have to beef up the drive-train. Make sure you are prepared for the added cost.
If you have any questions about what goes into a bottom end to hold lots of boost just shoot me a PM.

Good advice,
Our Paxton kit has made well over 800rwhp with stock cube engines, that is more than enough to break just about everything down the line in time. I'm sure your ATI is the same.
It has gotten to the point were we will generally not do 400+ cube engines unless someone "has to have it" or has a car set up with a drag trans etc. Otherwise the money spent is really not necessary to make big power or a nine second car, both can be accomplished with stock cubes.
