Depending on the amount of nitrous you plan on using.........

I would stud the bottom end,H-beam 6"rods,Mahle pistons just for good measure have the rotating assembly balanced.

Have you decided on how the heads should be? AI or Le should be considered since GOOD HEAD always works and either will spec a cam to suit your needs.

MSD digital 6 to pull timing or have your tune N20 specific

What nitrous system are you planning to use?

I used eagle I beams and speed pro's. Not my first chioce but it was cheap and reliable for a first motor. I havent bought my N2O set up yet either

If you have the coin to go this way do it. Maybe a diamond N20 piston??

My setup should be good for a 225 hit with a good tune. I have speedpro forged slugs, forged scat i beams 5.7, ARP main studs, stock crank
