Forged 347ci on the way... So as some of you may recall, I had a little trouble earlier with a split rocker. I ended up pulling the oil plug to drain the pan and discovered that the magnetic part of it was covered in metal shavings. So I sucked it up and took it to MTI and they are a few days away from getting my forged 347ci motor finished. They've put in Weisco Pistons, Lunati Rods, and a manual cut out as well as a FAST 90mm setup. I figured I'd take the saying someone had in their sig that went something like "If you're not buried neck deep in debt then you're not modding hard enough" a little too seriously and go pretty all out on the car while still keeping it NA. Unfortunately, there may be a little damage to the cam and that may have to be changed out soon. And although I would have loved to do the work myself, between classes and working 30-40 hour weeks as well as not really having a good place to work, I figured it was best to let someone do the work for me. And David at MTI has been unbelievably helpful. Anyways, I'll post again when I get the car back with some nice pics of the engine bay. 
As well as a dyno sheet - I'm hoping for at least 450 rwhp...

Any more info on the heads in your sig? Those and the cam will limit what you'll be able to do. It looks like you've got everything else covered with the 12 bolt, suspension, and clutch.

The heads are Futral Motorsports heads ported by Larry Meaux... I didn't have the flow numbers on them because the car had them installed already, but they were making about 430 rwhp w/o the FAST and the lower CR. The cam is *i believe* a 230/228 112 Futral cam, but like I said the guys at MTI mentioned that it may need to be replaced before too long, so I may be hunting for something a little more aggressive. I hope I don't need a cam swap because I really like that futral cam, but if I do I'll start looking for something bigger.
