Question MS4 build-Questions???

I currently have a 383 stroker with a ms4 cam in it and other upgrades like ls7 lifters, ls2 tc, ls6 ported oil pump, tsp pushrods. what else would you reccommend for this build such as what size stall or gears for the rear end. I would also like to know if the stock heads would work just fine. let me know your suggestions.

If it is a street car I would recommend some 3.73 gears in the rear end. Will you be spraying any nitrous to this motor? The stock heads will bolt on to the setup no problem but you will be down on power. After market heads would definately be needed if you are trying to make good power with the setup.

Go with at least a 3600-4k stall....The bigger the better.

If it is going to see nitrous I would do a 3600-3800 stall. I would do the 3.73 gears because on nitrous I think you might run out of gear at a 1/4 mile track.
