To Stroke or not to Stroke?

Ok, so Im going to do a 340 as a 340. My goal, to make 550hp at 6500rpm. I will go past that, but thats my goal. Streetability, well, it will be pump gas. Its not going to have a smooth idle, but it will run good and be able to run on the street. Vacuum, Im guessing 7-9in at idle, we will see. Im not 100% sure if its going to be carb or efi. I really like the FiTech's that I have run here recently, so that may be an option. That will help with the streetable part as well.
Is it going to be trick? Hell yes! Is it going to be Exotic? Hell NO! I have a plan, it will take a bit to get it all done, but in the end we hope to get our goal. And yes, it will be for sale at the end of it all. How much? I have no clue at this point.

So thats it, a NON race 340 that makes 550hp at 6500rpm, pump gas, maybe efi maybe carb.

I look forward to it! Should be exciting.

I see you mention really liking FItech unit, I got one for my 340, haven't installed it yet. What are you liking so much about it? How well does it seem to learn? And tuning tips and tricks? I am thinking I'm going to run the self tuner for the first couple weeks. Then when that's sorted really start getting into the tables and seeing how much more tuning I can give it.

I also got a little idea for your 340 build. Do you think it could be done on Iron (J/X/etc, no w) heads? Recently been thinking about a "max effort" all iron street small block build. Prove some skeptics wrong.
