After the rear goes the 8:1 300hp 355 with forged internals and worked over vortec heads shortly followed by either twin turbo or one fat turbo. The goal is 450-500rwhp daily driver.

PS it will be blow through carb.

Anyone heard of this company called Currie? They make a $1500 9" for Fbody 82-92's and that sounds like its $800 cheaper than a Moser. Am i missing something?

Never mind curries doesnt come with gears and posi. Anyone know the quality of their product?

Currie is a very good rear end shop, just make sure it isn't so cheap because it has a spool. You are going to want a posi for a street car. If you are actually planning on getting to 500RWH that is alot different then 400, go with the 12 bolt or 9" or you will be doing it twice. Do it once, do it right.

How you gonna get that through inspection? And at 8:1, you better go right to the turbo, because with the low comp & turbo cam, it'll be a dog.

But I like you got big aspirations! 8-)

I got plenty of info thanks! The budget is pretty much getting thrown out by the looks of things with the rear. Twin Turbo, yeah not hard to get 2 T5's from the junkyard and plumb my own non intercooled system. 500hp, 300hp + turbo = 30-40% gain... Daily Driver, I think that one may be out the window...but that doesnt mean I still wont drive it daily. It'll just cost me $50 a week in gas.

Well I dont plan on taking it through inspection... Its no gonna be done for another 1-1/2 to 2 years in which time I'll take my car through for the last and final time it ever needs to pass, then its a classic :D. Thanks for the vote of confidence btw.

Yeah thanks for the support. I'd imagine that my biggest problem will not be the money but my father saying "Its already a magnet to cops why does it need to be faster". In which case I'll just build the motor in my friend garage :D Kind of realised that 500rwhp is a friggin 10.xx and thats pretty nuts. Starting to think I may need to lower my goal only because I will not have the insurance money to support a beater also. That meaning how far can I go and still be able to drive the car daily aound 12-15mpg minimum?

Goal is 400rwhp minimum. I'm thinking that would be a more comfortable goal and always have the option to up boost if I wanna take it into the 10's :)
