Brainstorming Ideas for 400-450 hp 360 Build

There's the rub;
As a streeter you need to decide right now how much gear you can run. Because this decision, with a manual trans, will pretty much dictate your cam selection, which will dictate at about what rpm the power will peak, and that will to a large extent dictate the power number.

That about sums it up.

With true street cars, most of the time it comes down to how much gear and/or stall the owner can tolerate, and to some degree whether or not it has power brakes....... which will(or at least “should”) dictate the direction of the build and how big the cam can be.

Obviously, the milder the desired combo is, the more benefits you’ll get in the “seat of the pants” driving experience with additional cubes.
