I got a 455 BB engine and looking to build it up. It is going to be a street application but I want it to be ridiculous powerful. Im NOT going to run nitrous on it. In the future I plan on supercharging it. Anyway, I was considering boring it out. Whats the maximum size and overall cubic inches I can achieve safely and thats reliable? I was looking at the Edelbrock Performer kit, (includes carb, intake manifold, cam, exhaust headers) has anyone had this on there setup and wanted to know how you felt about it. As for the rest of it for now, im looking at a msd ignition system, new radiator/fans. Any other recommendations to consider? This is my 1st major buildup and Im wanting to do it right the 1st time and have a reliable motor in the end. So all input is welcome. Oh, by the way it is going into a 85' 2dr cutlass.
