Hi Kevin , i was thinking about a stout pump gas street engine to fit into my 85 mcSS . My thoughts were an 8.5:1 Procharged blow-through Carb setup but have researched it and saw 1000-1200 HP which i think is major overkill.. car will be spinnin' at all speeds on the street. What would be a good part combo and compress on 91 oct that would give me 750 - 800 HP at 5500 - 6k RPM & 700-750 ft lb Torque at 4500 RPM ?
