Here's the issue:..... my buddy is a pretty big man. He's 6'4" and weighs about 320 lbs..... therefore we have a power to weight ratio situation. Torque moves mass...which is why I'm focusing on trying to build a little more of it. Unfortunately I am dealing with a budget here. My first thought was to go bigger with the cubic inches, and get him a 95" big bore kit, but I'm wondering if that alone is going to do that much?

If my budget was say: $1000 ….what would be the recommendation to try and get him a little more torque? I realize $1000 isn't much to work with,....but I'm hoping it's enough to wake it up a little more. Whether it's bigger cams, some head work??? Just not sure what the best route to take is.

Thanks for your input -
