the money limit was more to say, "Spend as much as you want to build the engine" more than "What would you do with 100g's"

Don't forget to put in the titanium valves with sodium-potassium filled stems as well as fully ballanced so we can push the RPM's.

Throw away the 454 and buy a 572 and blow it! That just sounds killer- a blown 572.

How can you run butterfly valves and a turbo at the same time O.o

You forgot to ask to get everything chrome plated

Well sure, the more chrome the better if we're making it a dyno queen, if you want to put it into a car that's gonna be fast, remeber, chrome is heavy...
