Thanks again for all the help. I have about $2000 more to spend on the build. I have a couple more questions before I complete the build. Sorry again if any these questions are complete noob questions, this is my first pontiac build.
1. My first concern is coil binding, so I was thinking about the 68405-16 springs. Do these require head work, or do they fit in the stock spot, and will they be sufficeint for the cam. Head work for springs was quoted at around $800 so that would set me back.
2. Next, what is the cheapest way to raise compression?
If I have the 77 400 with 6x heads (103cc?), so I have about 7.5 compression right now right? I assuming milling the heads is the cheapest way to raise compression. I would like 9-9.5. What is the most I can safely mill the heads, and how much compression will it place me at.
3. Finally my car only revs to 5000, wont the 3000 torque converter only limit my power band to 2000 rpms? Should I get a 2500 converter? Also I would like to use 235 BFG drag radials since Im stuck with 7 inch rims. Atlest until I have a lot more money to get big rims and tires. With that converter will there be excessive wheel spin?
4. Finally I know this block can only hold around 400hp. Will this combo get me to 350rhwp, and high 12 quarters?
