[QUOTE="jeffs, post: 15957701, member: 54343"] I decided to just get better rods / pistons, and S550 valve-springs. My local machine shop is doing the short-block, and valve-springs. I'll install the heads, cams, timing equipment. I went with the following. [LIST] [*]Manley H beam rods, upgraded to ARP 2000 rod bolts [*]ARP 12mm head studs, and main bearing studs [*]boss 302 / S550 Coyote valve-springs (same thing / part number fyi) [*]Manley 3.635 pistons, (.005 over std.) stock compression, no special coating [*]going back to my stock balancer, (unless someone here needs an ATI 20% balancer, that has a stock sized aftermarket balancer they want to trade) ATI, preferably. [/LIST] Anyways, with the CPR kit, and around 13-15 psi, I'm hoping for 800ish to the wheels and single digit timeslips after some sorting out. Probably have a touch over 4K into the engine by the time it's ready to roll. BTW Modular head-shop / Excessive motorsports has been very helpful, and they quoted me a very fair price for a short-block using my current crank, and rods. I've read bad things, but they've been very helpful over the past few weeks, I'd totally give them a try if my local machinist wasn't on board with this mild build for some reason. [/QUOTE]
