Even a stock well tuned D port 455 can provide so called neck snapping performance IF you can hook it!
Don't spend all your time and funds on building a level of power that you don't need or can't apply, also work on the rear suspension and getting sticky drag radials on the ass end.
Build your short block nice and strong with light Pistons and wrist pins, good I beam Rods and Cam that can make you 450 hp, and then down the road when you have tapped that out for all it's worth with the car hooking well you can swap Cams and maybe even get some head work done to get to the 540 hp level with the heads ported to into 275 cfm land, up from the stock 222 cfm.
