andy, i thougth about it all day and if it was me i would leave the tunnel ram on it.since its already built im sure it dosen't have blower pistons,the block is probaly not o ringed and im sure the compression is high.and i think a 540 with a tunnel will last forever.just my 2 cents.

Blown thanks buddy! It's a 540 cid with Dart Alum. heads. The motor is being built right now, it was going to have a tunnel ram on it but I rode in a blown HTM last weekend and decided at the last minute I might want a blower for the look and sound and the power at high RPM. That's why I didn't want to go with a bunch of boost, something some what easy on the motor plus serve a purpose. The 540 is going to make about 650-700 hp, that's what I was told with no blower. I was thinking with 5 pounds of boost it would make closer to 800, but I don't really know. It will run on pump gas also. Any thing else please let me know what you think, thanks a lot for the help guys!!!

Boatnam your probably right, but I just want it. I do believe the motor is oringed. But none the less if it isn't the right deal then I am just going to have to wait, I don't want to but the budget is tight.
