To top it all off they are both car guys. I may use a converted tunnel ram lower intake with a sheetmetal top. Either way I will use a single throttle blade. I would love to consider the AFR's. What are they going for these days? I've seen their adds for about 3200. Anyone know of any better deals? If I could get 1700 or 1800 out of the heads I have, I would consider a swap since I'm going to have the heads off anyway. If not I can always do them down the road. Let me summarize, everyone seems to think that the zz502 short block with AFR heads, cometic gaskets, EFI, and an intercooled pro-charcher F1 will do 15psi and make 1000hp. Also be absolutely reliable. Yes or No? Any comments on the EFI? Accel,BS3,etc.

Here's the monoblade setup Troy mentioned:
Yes, your combo with those heads, correct cam and F1 intercooled should make 1000 HP at 15 psi. If it's built right it should be very reliable.
My 540 got 19 mpg on the freeway, and did it more than once. I drove it all the time. I used a FAST system on mine but BigStuff3 and Accel Gen VII are also good. I think FAST or BS3 are easier to tune than the Accel.
I think
http://www.lewisracingengines.com/pa...2073/index.htm had the AFR's at less than $2400 with the CNC chambers last I checked. Call Mike for a current quote.
