408 stroker vs procharger 360

Fight fire with fire? A 60/70s car vs a modern supercar? You're bringing a blunderbuss to a laser tag fight...lol. Teh reason those cars run so well is tehy are balanced. But a 10 second Supra makes much more than 600hp. Closer to 800. And the displacement is much smaller, so torque isnt as big a concern. Nor are they running 3.23 gears. They run closer to 3.70 final drives (from my limited understanding) with those 6 speeds. Huge single turbos so torque is cut even more, and on a straight 6 cylinder low end. They rev to 8500 rpm. Your V8 simply cant match that. You will have mad torque with even a large turbo. And a procharger eats roughly 25% of it's own power just to turn itself. I saw a write up a few years back that said it took just shy of 150hp just to turn the blower at full boost. So to make 600hp at the crank, you have to make 750. So we're back to the V8 block. Plan to buy another one. a good one too. You still havetn mentionned money. So either you can afford to write a huge check and it's a non issue, or it's a huge issue and you really havent thought of hoiw much all this will cost. You can build a 416 A body to run 10s easy. Or go 150mph driven everywhere. Or you can build a blown 360 to do the same. But from the sound of it, you're trying to get too much from one car to keep up with the Jones' mustang. If you go boosted, Go turbo and electric engine management with a 6sp, and put some real gear in it. Like a set of 3.91s. Careful choice of suspension parts will give you a slightly lowered stance, but still let the drag racing part of the suspension work right.
