what will i need .....

900 hp you need a completely new block. A stock block wont handle 900 hp regardless of wat u do to it. You need a race block. You can get a 302 race block for about 1800 bucks.

Also for 900 hp you need a good quality bottom end(pistons, rod, crank) the whole nine. That is a lot of hp you are trying to produce. Hope your budget is very loose.

whats the max hp the stock engine can take

my little red 90

never having tried to reach the limit, i do not know.
some people that should know say in the 600+ range. car craft did a 408ci to 611hp.at that level life is probably relative short.

my 87 has 225hp and i was looking at a paxton supercharger that said it adds 45-65% hp thats a average of atleast 50% which would put my hp range around 320hp my plan it to get atleast 375 reliable hp

at 45%(49) its arount 7 lbs of boost correct me if im wrong .....with a supercharger like paxton (centrifugal) how do you turn up the boost



the description says that it will only give you a max of 275 at 6 psi

you change the boot by different size pulleys...a smaller diameter pulley is going to turn quicker, therefore producing more boost, and a larger pulley is just the opposite. and when installing a blower, you are probably going to want to add a few bolt ons as well to maximize the performance of the blower, and MAKE SURE you get a good dyno tune. as a general idea, the more boost you are pushing, the les reliability you will have. from what i have heard, about 9psi is about as much boost as you want to put on a stock bottom end.
