Re: 400-450hp 355 on a budget?

From what I know a roots will make more TQ in the lower RPM compared to a centrifical blower. But I have no first hand experience. I believe the centrififal makes more boost the faster you spin it.

Patriot makes a decent upgraded cast head for a good price. It is machined so you can run either a Standard SBC intake or a Vortec. It also allows you to get some lift on the cam and they flow pretty decent. If memory serves they make this same head in alum for $400-500 more.
