Need help picking cams and pistons and rods

[Hoodtactikz510]

I'm looking to get about 400-450whp out of my 98 gt I know alot of people will say I should not have gotten a 98 but I love the body. So the first step I hav done so far was purchase a pi head swap because I did some research and a lot of people said it's the best platform to start a 98 bud with I have romero heads from a 04gt also had them polished as well I don't have the head in the car I learne from my younger days it best to build and engine and leave the stock one alone and pluse I enjoy building something I created from my mind. So I have the heads I did not want to waste my time with bolt on since I'm building a engine.

I was wondering what cam set up as well as piston set up would I be able to use that will have little to none clearance issues and I have a bare block right now and also when I Chang the pistil s o know the compression will change and that's why alot of people do the pi head swap that a d for the better flow any info would help thanks alot

Are you talking about 400-450whp N/A?!

I think I will have the most stout 2v NA motor on here with stock configuration heads. Even then im not going to have 400 wheel. Thats with 13:1

romeo heads....... also, N/A you will not come close to that. you wont even get that high even dumping money into it. 5.4 you may come close but less intake manifold options. higher compression may yield you some 10 hp or so. stroking wont even get you close to that. long tubes are outright rare to find for 5.4. abundant and expensive for 4.6 and will get you not close to your goal. 4.6 naturally aspirated is a dud for power. however, serious weight reduction will make it scoot quicker.
