350-400 to the wheels with 4l80 trans, 3.73 gears. If i find a motor for 1400-2000, id like to try and keep it under another 1-2k in mods if i can. It'll be a Daily Driver so its gotta be reliable. Internal motor components and terms are where my knowledge is stretched. i understand the higher the compression, the higher the octane fuel you have to run but when it comes to drivabilty and dependability, whats the max compression i can go to? What determines compression, besides obvious things like bore, stroke and piston style, if anything? Sorry if being a pain. Lol I figure you know exactly what you're talkin about so i may as well ask questions.
