Gotcha now. Sounds like you building a nice car. I quit for about 12 or 13 years and started back about 3 years ago. Boy had things changed. When I raced it was a 350, 454 or 460 with a roller cam and a little work done to the heads. Costing about 7k to build. Now everybody in mud racing has a 406+ small block or a 600+ big block average cost is probably more than 25k.
All I can say about a blower and a tight convertor is most blower guys (we have about 20) leave the line off a clutch at 7,000 and turn 'em to 9,500. Then again we only have 1 class that allows blowers and it's basically our Top Fuel class. Several of the guys are good friends of mine I just don't know squat about their cars.
