Define "hot"...or more accurately, what are your specific goals?
For some, "hot" is a 12 second combo, for others it's 10 seconds or quicker. Both are easy to achieve, it just depends on how much you're willing to spend, and what you're willing to put up with on the street.
Be a little more specific with what you want and we can go from there.

Here’s some more info…looking for about a 525-550hp @ 6000 rpm combo. Would like to keep it as maintenance-free as possible, thus the hydraulic cam and pump gas. Gonna be sticking with a muncie 4-speed and don’t want the rear gearing to get higher than 3.73 because of hi-way use...the car will see annual trips to Wisconsin Dells (about 150 miles), see the drag strip a couple times a year.
My initial thought was to use a set of GM 077 heads and an Edelbrock C427X intake, to keep it nostalgic, with a decent hydraulic roller cam and run on pump gas, but I’m not sure that will give me the numbers I’m looking for…plus I haven’t convinced myself to use a NOS pair of 077 heads.
I’m not overly concerned about the money but want to get the best motor for the money spent and not waste money trying different combos to find that “magic” set-up…anyone ever use the Dart Pro1 top-end kit?
Thanks again guys!...
