I know a guy who put a Procharger supercharger on his 256 along with headers and a Bravo 1X drive. He was seeing a top speed of 70. With a stock 496 mag, top speed is 53-55. 496 H.O. around 60-63

i will go to the 540 stroker air aspired engine.

Power objectif is 480-550 hp
I will assemble the engine myself and have the machine work done.
So If I can stay under 4000-5000 $ for parts

anny advice on a good setup /price ?

-Exhaust manifold or stock , ?
-Rotating assembly kit with balancing ?
-lifters, push rods, valves, springs, rockers
-cam ?

-stock head is good ?

-ecu upgrade ?
