I want a tall deck 396 with a 3.76 stroke and some peanut port heads. My max RPM I would like to spin is 4000. I have a 2 barrel rochester carb for it. Its gonna be 11.5:1 compression with an RV cam. I plan to run it on 87 octane with projected tip plugs, cast pistons, 210* water stat, and 39* of locked timing. Shooting for an air fuel ratio around 15:1, for good MPG. I am hoping for 650hp at 4000rpm. I really need the midrange cruise

Just my professional opinion...

Don't forget "I want a very lopey idle, don't want to buy aftermarket exhaust and want to keep My captain calls."

Can I put a ProCharger on my 3.0L? If so, should I step up to a Gen II Alpha or will the Gen I be fine?
