Thanks for all the replies, @B34 Im around Waterford, how about you.

Sounds like converter is last on the "purchase" list.

@autoxcuda Did you try that combo in one of your rides, or are you thinking thats a good set up for me? I was going to do Forged pistons, rods and crank.

I hope this motor Im trying to build will keep me from the laughing gas"No2" I say that because I have a different 340 in my Duster right now, and that would just be to easy to get a boost in power.

Yes. Run errands around town in it, go to the grocery store, drive it to the track 180 miles round trip in 90+ deg weather, drive it in LA traffic jams, etc. got 10K+ miles on it since 2011.

I run a machanical 274-S cam and a single plane since the occasional "track" for me is a road course with long straights.

Something in the range of an hydraulic comp 275HL or a one set hotter 285HL would work. Not sure if the 285HL will have enough vacuum for power brakes.

This is idle in my car with TTI step headers, turbo mufflers and full exhaust out back
