My brother has a DSS Racing 392w which he will be liquidating for a good price in the near future. I guess he is looking to build a motor for his truck which will get something better than gallons to the mile when he drives to work, and let's face it, gas ain't getting cheaper. He will even give me the family discount. Of course when he had the engine built, he had a truck in mind, so it has great drivibility, lots of torque, and is built for a vehicle a lot heavier than Monte will be. It has Edelbrock Performer RPM heads, an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, and a X303 cam all of which was perfect for a torquey motor. I was thinking of something a tad more high-strung and efi. Yes that will add some expense, but I know of more than one person who had carb tuning issues at my altitude.
Of course I would love to add a little style to the equation. This is a tad spendy but would it not look really cool?!?
Cross ram IR EFI ftw, of course the cost would outweigh any performance benefit... but would be awesome nonetheless. I am thinking with the right heads (AFR 205s or 225s), a hotter cam, and intake I would be over 550hp pushing 600hp. I previously thought about supercharging, as most people look at it as a way to get more power and not compromise drivability. My counter is, no matter what, tuning a fuel and spark curve for a supercharger is tough, especially at that power level, and even more so for the average know-nothing enthusiast. Lots to bite off, but I will keep everyone updated on what I do.
