I think a TFS set of Track Heat heads with the upgraded valve train, a good custom cam or a TFS stage 2, a 347 with flat top pistons, a good set of lightweight I beam or std H beam rods, forged or even a cast steel crank, with a DSS girdle will get you to your 500 rwhp on spray very easily and make for a very nice dd as well. Lots of torque, quick accelleration, nice sound, and works well with the spray. I have built a bunch of these combos with AFR and with TFS, and you can see upper 300 rwhp all motor up to 400 rwhp.  The key phrase I used was best bang for the buck. These parts are all priced lower and work just as well for the money. I build engines and spec engines for a living when I'm not over here(and I still do it over the phone or email for customers from over here, lol), and I have put together a lot of combos over the years. This will work really well and keep begging for more. when I get all my projects done, I'm going to get with Paul and ask him to help me set up a fair AFR to TFS comparison since they both have CNC ports now. I don't think the TFS cnc are the best bang for the buck however, but it would be an apples to apples comparison on my dyno to see just what the differences are. I'm willing to do it, just have to get all this other stuff done and sold off, and free up my resources. Wouldn't that be cool? Anyway, sorry for the off topic, but hope this helps. There are a whole bunch of paths to get to the same goal, this is just one of them that goes along with your conditions.</blockquote>
