I have nearly the same setup as you, Comp Cams 224/228 .581 lift, ported 241's, except I don't have the FI. But I'm thinking about it. Throw some pistons and rods in mine and I might consider it. Is your shortblock stock? How does it feel from NA to same setup + 5 PSI?

internally im still stock but i got comp 921 springs,lifters still on stock rockers though...imma start bulinding a forged shortblock soon though so when my stocker pops it'll be ready..looking to build a 6.0 block with 9.5:1 compression and some afr heads and maybe a more radical cam like 242/246 with 115 lsa to make up for the lost compression

that would be sweet, with the 6.0 and larger cam. I actually found myself a good buy tonight on a forged 347 shortblock and will be picking it up sometime within a couple of weeks. The pistons may give me a higher compression than what I want (forged -4cc), but they should do I haven't decided yet if I want to change cams, springs, & heads or not.

uh... advance auto parts or autozone... I believe DEI makes it or something like that.. and they have silver and black coatings you can spray on the wrap that i believe is supposed to make it last longer.

you will need 3 cans of spray (whatever color you want, i did black) and 2 50foot rolls
