X2. This is pretty much the setup I have, but I have closer to 10:1 compression, and not as good of heads. The guy who built my motor said it prob makes about 300 hp, and if I change to vortec heads it would be closer to 400 hp. I have 2 1/2" dual flowmaster 40 mufflers with turndowns right after the muffler. Here is a sound clip with a 4000 rpm rev and a shutdown/start up:
I agree with the above posters get a book, do it right, have fun, and if you store it seal it up good (I didn't and I had to rebuild it a second time since water got in it!). good luck
