Stock Lightnings are easily obtainable. There is a guy here, with a stock, and I mean 'real' stock..(not lying like some guys I know) and he runs a solid 13.80's. And my old 383 ran a 13.56, faster than a stock Vette. So with good traction, you should see 12's on that motor alone.

I think you'll like it, and relatively speaking, the 408 with bigger cubes, the 294s seems tame at idle.
But I would go solid for sure, no matter what size.
