Hi Guys,
I have a 355 SBC that is getting a rebuild this winter. It has great top end parts and valvetrain (Roller), but was assembled on a junkyard 4 bolt main engine. ( I don't condone it, but I did get a great deal
It's in a vega drag car 95% strip, 5% street.
Here is the main question. The car should go thru the lights at 7200 rpm or so, so I am trying to select a rotating mass to work at this rpm (485-525 hp I would guess).
How do we decide if Eagle or Scat parts suffice, or do I need to step up to Callies or Crower parts? I would like to get 2 or 3 seasons out of the short block before teardowns, with the exception of valve springs and the like.
All opinions welcome
Thanks
Vega High
