Ok guys ive heard you need forged internals for this type of RPM but why? Im looking for something like 450-500 at the crank

Tell me what you think of this combo. Also your own ideas would be great. Supposedly the victor Jr. combo puts out over 500 horses so this i was hoping would be near the same due to lower compression...

AFR 205 race heads
victor 5.0 intake
36lbs injectors
1 5/8 full length headers(Do i need 3/4")
Need help on the cam selection
Run around 10.5-11:1 comp
A really well balanced light driveshaft linked to a T-5

I figure i wanna peak at somewhere from 7,000-7,500 RPM
Am i gonna be able to keep this streetable or did i just cross the line?

What do you think the numbers for this would be?

Im looking to build a streetable classic fastback weighign in at aournd 2100-2300 lbs and make more of a corner carver. Due to Light weight in theory would make this a 10 second car

By replacing the whole front end wiht a fiberglass unit how much weight do you think i would shave off factory weight by the way?
