Do a search on STS. Most peeps won't even bother with someone asking questions about these things anymore since they have been talked about SO MUCH. If you do the search ALL your questions will be answered, guranteed!

Forged pistons, good rods, ARP head and rod bolts, bigger injectors, pump, intercooler, 226 on 116 or so cam, and a good tune. Hope this helps. You said you wanted to run alot of psi!

Your best bet is to do a search. Probably every question that could ever be thought up has been asked and answered in either this forum or the FI section at CZ28.

Search and spend the hours reading and if you have other questions that weren't answered in your searches....ask them and I'm sure you'll get responses. It's nothing personal but your questions have been gone over sooooooooo many times that most folks don't want to regurgitate that information one more time when it could be had easily by you if you'd only use the search feature.

what he said...minus the need more a 226 duration.....it doesnt need to be that big....a stock cam will even work well...but the LSA is important...most say at least a 114

I just figured he would want to keep some cam since he already had it.

A 112 LSA will be fine. Tighter LSA promotes better top end breathing for more power.
