Default Power Capabilities?

Well as of now Im running a forged/cammed 402 stroker with a Procharger D1 w/4.5" pulley, Fast90 w/90mm t/b, full exhaust some other boltons making little over 600.

The power is pretty much useless in the city which is now where most of my driving is, and soon I wanna start taking it to auto-x stuff and dont want to be put in a upper class cause of work done.

With the stroker, fast 90 combo and exhaust....is it possible to get above 500+ to the wheels switching over to a heads/cam car? Its going through an A6 tranny and I have a built converter to handle a pretty lopey cam.

Any recommendation on heads/cam combo? Ive looked at Livernois so far.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, absolutely.

However, put some Hoosier R6's on your car, along with sway bars, and go stomp everyone in the higher class!!

If traction is still a problem, put a bigger pulley on it so you're boost will drop!

No I believe the smaller the pulley, the more boost.
