Need some advice on my winter build !
Hey guys. So i'ts that time where, the greddy kit is'nt cutting my taste anymore. I've decided to gather up as much info and parts as i can and Moving towards a Complete rebuild of my moter, and so far I've had a great parts list gather'd up for a good price. My engine is on it's way out.. 185 on 2 and 220 on 2 . Leak down test and damm am i sad.. My goal is to reach 450-550 on pump gas. Id like to run e85 later on. I'll have to talk with a tuner. I have a plm sidewinder maifold, 38mm tial mvs. rc 1000cc high imp, garret gt35r, waldo 255, synapse bov and running on aem series 1 ems, and a aem water/meth, 3 bar map
Now as for that.. i'd like some good solid "concrete" info on engine build. I've read countless forums about stock internals doing quite good on #. This will be a street car for me.Looking to pump 14 on low boost and 22!! I plan on running,.. So far I plan on Keeping the block stock..otherthen a blockgaurd, arp headstuds, stock hg, Debating on having my pistons machined(read this on a forum). All New oem rings/bearings, gaskets. As for the head I was either going with stock or , supertech springs and ti retainers, Port out the head and manifold. That is all. Trying to keep this on budget as I still need to figure out what clutch im going for and rear end?/?/
So far how does this sound? Hopfully I have a solid plan here unless someone could give me suming betterr to work withh!.

It has been said that the stock engine can hold up to 500-700 HP. Do not use ARP headstuds, use OEM's. I would say go with OEM valve train or else you would have to change those supertech stuff every 15,000 miles or so. You will probably get more info and responses if you posted this in the forced induction section. The rear end will be fine as long as you don't keep launching it. Good luck.

Yeah if you spend just 10 mins in the forced induction section you will find all your answers. Your #s are fine on a completely stock block. You do not need a block guard. I dont even know if they make them for our block to be honest. OEM headstuds and gaskets. As for vavletrain just use AP2 OEM retainers/keepers and you will be fine.
