I know Torque is good there, but My purpose to car is to make it handle so it can keep up to those cars on a track to in corners. So I wondered what is the happy middle here.
Im happy with how ferraris drive on the road, no drama with them, but the RPMS fly up when they start to kick the power. I can see a big cube (small or big block) leaving them dead right there. How would more cubes effect a cars road course speed though and why would it be bad (if at all) when it has more to get out of the corners... or is that the actual problem as the car would spin out.

EFI or carbureted? What is your budget for cylinder heads? A set of Kaase heads, for example, will excise all of the Windsor platforms shortcomings (which re mostly related to chamber design and valve spacing). The best part of the Windsor platform is its symmetrical ports. (as opposed to siamesed ports like a Gen 1 small block)
Can you spring for coated everything? pistons, bearings, etc? The right combination will get you to 1.4 HP per cube, EFI. Then it's simply a matter of having enough cubes. 347 x 1.4 = 486 HP Aw....
