i think i will be going with either AI or LE heads

 

That place is not far from me, never heard of them

Its near Sonny's

 

Wow mdacton didn't call you a ***** and say how slow you were... you must be doing something right

Sounds fine except for the chinese junk pro products damper - ditch that for an ATI. Also I would be building some trick flow heads if you're spending that much money on the bottom end. Will flow more when ported, and thicker deck for nitrous use.

You also do not want a high volume pump, especially with a solid roller cam - just extra parasitic loss and excess oil in the top end. Get a standard pump with the high pressure spring.

 

ok thanks for the tips, i actually didnt pay that much for it, i got the whole thing for 1700

 

its a nice setup, swap in a ATI damper.

 

kowalski?

 

12.5:1 w/ 64cc heads? Are these pistons domed?

 

sorry i dont know, i was told that they were a nitrous dome
