Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

Go to a Magnum or Hi Energy Pushrod like people have said... pushrods are not glamourous but they are important.

I would also do the beehive setup with stock lifters, I designed that setup so you can run the stock lifters and not have to deal with the Comp R' problems.

The A4 does cause more of a loss thru the driveline but if you have a 3000-3500stall you should be perfect for a LE2 setup... a little bit of gear helps as well.

I have a 2800 stall with a 2.2 STR...running 3.23 gears for now. Also, wll the stock lifters suffice for my H/c AND nitrous on top of that?

Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

That thing should be ok and might stall higher now with the new cam in it.

The stock lifters will be fine.

Thank you. I might upgrade my stall....but I am still worried about my stock rear. Maybe I'll just saved the N20 for second gear till I can afford a 12 bolt.

Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

If i was you i would hold off on the injectors, save some money, just run you stock ones and see what % duty cycle they are at and you may be fine, if your not then get new ones.

This is mainly because im cheap and new injectors are expensive.

Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

Sounds like it is going to be a nice setup

I went with the Competition Motorsports complete gasket set, I would recommend it, buying all the gaskets separately would come to more. I am running 30lb injectors and could have stuck with the stockers, but was told that the duty cycle would be too high and to just upgrade.

Good Luck, that is going to be a beast when done!

Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

Stock injectors can't properly handle 400rwhp.... you can be cheap and not get them but if you end up leaning the motor out, then you just have to buy a rebuild and new pistons.... not like that's going to be a big deal.

Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

Defiantly step up to the Hi-Tech pushrods and get SVO 30's.

Look at my website in my signature and go to the place that says specifications. Thats what I went with, and I am super pleased with it. Comp R's arent as picky as everyone tends to think...

Re: H/C parts...please confirm.

I'm pretty sure I will go with 30's. I don't want to be running lean especially with the nitrous. Silvershark, thank you for the link.

I was just saying cause Clint(T/A Lt1) is probably pushing close to 400 rwhp and he is running stock injectors. He has gone 11.19 n/a and 10.17 on a 200 shot. But then again everything about his car is and exception...not many people go that fast on ported heads and a 306.
