Project idea....what do yall think

[mustangGTS]

Well, here we go...
Upon the recent sale of my 98 inch shovel, I am gonna build a new toy. Here is the motor idea...... any suggestions, opinions, and general comments are welcome.

Ultima cases, barrells and CNC heads (4.4 inch bore as used with the 140)
forged lightened 4.25 stroke crank,
light weight forged or billet rods, 8.0
lightened flywheels,
custom pistons
custom cam
mad EFI

some type of blower, possibly Magnacharger

What do you think the overall outcome of this project would turn out to be?
Which blower would you choose?
What trans (besides RSD for tire reasons)
What type of performance would you expect in a shortened rigid (HP numbers will be determined when she goes on the dyno.

It should work out to 129 cubes, with a big bore, and short stroke, providing that everything works out as planned we are hoping that she will rev very quickly, and make gobs of power up top, while not loosing the endless torque that we all love down low due to screw type supercharging. This whole package is going to go into a custom frame, most likely a rigid, and get tuned for E85 (110 octane) and have other tunes for gasoline. Also considering N20 kit in addition to a blower.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds like a bullet(has a short life).Might be good for a dyno shootout.Needs more arm,so you won't have to turn the blower as hard.The nitrous will help keep the intake charge cool.

Sounds a bit like overkill to me. But if that's what floats your boat, go for it. If you are planning a blower, make sure the engine is built to optimize the blower's capacity and design. I am no expert in this, but believe you should not blend a blower with high compression.

Either way, good luck.
