How much boost are you going to run?

Ill be running only about 20psi maybe more depending on the tune.
but that all depends on what the guy who tunes the motor says.

Bent/broken valves suck, thats for sure. Been there, done that. Mine broke at 9800

First time breaking a valve(s) for me, I have destroyed piostons, put a rod through a block, snapped cams, but never broke a valve.

Whats crazy is the valves that snapped, took the Valve seals with them...never seen that happen.
Well this gives me a chance to get a built Head, 1000CC injectors, and my Pistons, rods,

And then Ill have pretty much a built motor. execpt sleevs, which I would love to do, but just dont have funds for that and need the car running.

Only issue, make sure the head you send is in GREAT shape and has ZERO work done previously. They're kinda picky with what they'll work on.

A little piss ant like you isnt worth being banned over.

Yea he has a bad habit of being overly sarcastic.. .. at the wrong times..

Looking to get it bought built. Dont really have time to mess around sending it to a shop. found a few for sale that had everything I needed done to them.
But only looking at ones that have paperwork stateing what was done and who did the work.
So we will see what happenes....

who did the port work on the head?

what cams are you running?

RS Machine in Cali did all the head work.

Ill be running stock gsr cams as I have already spent way too much money in the past few days on this build. I have seen some nice edelbrock cams for sale a 288/250 set up. But don't know much about them so for now stockerss
