Before you build the engine, you have to decide what you want in the engine.

It’s so easy for enthusiasts to get excited about horsepower numbers, rpm levels, and sound, while skipping some very key factors of a well-designed engine. Some build requests are realistic while others are not even close. And it’s actually just as important for the engine builder to clarify the needs of the customer, as a totally mismatched engine can easily be an embarrassment to the builder and to the driver/owner.

A little testing on this 408 stroker goes a long way for a 351W.

Who among us doesn’t want more power? Where we differ is in the chosen route. When you think of improving performance, power adders immediately come to mind-after all, there is big power to be had from nitrous, a blower, or turbo system. Bolt-ons constitute yet another route, as heads, cam, and intake can dramatically improve the power output of even a stock short-block.
