Good, balanced design. The 12:1 static compression with the MS4 cam should give you just about optimal dynamic compression. Therefor you should have torque down low, and power up high, the perfect combination. Good luck with your new budget Monster.
thanks guys im preety pumped up about it should be a great combo to play with some of my buddies that just got new bikes as for the offer im gona have to pass i think id be ripping u off and i just dont roll like that haha forgot to memtion i have a 150 dry shot thats going on the motor 2 might convert it to wet and go alittle bit bigger if the stock rails and lines can supply anuf fuel not sure of their limits
oh im def going to post some pics probly in about a month thats when it should ship out and for results i live in nothern indiana so it will be a few months before i can get it on the dyno but ill be sure to post the results

If the pistons are out of the hole at all I wouldn't run that 0.030 gasket. You could mill the heads to 59cc and run the 0.040 gasket for 12:1 comp. Should be a killer setup either way. I wish I would have gone the 408 or 370 route when I bought my shortblock.
59 cc and the 40 gasket is what i was thinking but but thats what we came up with i just kinda listened to them and decided what i wanted i dont build shortblocks everyday so i dont really know the safe limits
update it took a little longer than expected but its alomst finished up things that i changed from the first post had to run a thicker head gasket quench was to tight so its 11.8 comp now and i changed my dry shot to a wet shot and i put double pumps in my tank and ran a -8 line to some speed rails with a rail mounted reg
heres some pics for ya guys

You are really taking your time and the attention to detail is great. I'm glad to see you are getting it together. How much did the pistons come above the deck? I'm just curious for future reference.
