For the valvetrain, billet solid roller with jesel shaft mounted rockers, Johnson lifters ...all kept in check by exotic alloy triple valvesprings.

Bottom end, Callies dragonslayer crank riding on King bearings, Dyers rods topped with Ross pistons wrapped with total seal rings.

For induction duties, Hogan sheetmetal intake...laced with ID injectors, complimented by a FAST throttlebody.

Oiling, Moroso 5 stage drysump system

Turbo, Promod 88/91 precision unit.

Now to fuel this thing....a minimum of 2 A1000 pumps on E85
Keep compression around 14:1, will probably run best at 34psi. And your motor will be the most terroristic machine in the northern hemisphere.

You guys ran him off already.
I think he was hoping for a much bigger, much shinier silver spoon to be fed with.

Seeing that OP got ghost, I guess he's knee deep in the build already. Can't wait to see what his car runs like.
