I'm happy if I'm able to make 800-850 heck 900 if with my meth kit its possible.
What are your thoughts on a 416 with a LT4 blower?
This is a daily driver so my concerns would be reliability as I put a ton of miles (64K currently), driving mannerisms (never had a stroker car) and some fuel economy consideration (not concerned that much on gas but not if its like it'll spend 50% more gas, then, in that case, it would be a NO)
I just want to poke your brains a little bit.
Think the LT4 can move the 416 no problem? LME told me YES, TSP told me NO.

Basically you have a 2 bbl carb on a small block and now it is Kind of like installing that same 2 bbl carb on a big block engine, the tiny blower will limit what the engine is capable of.
