LTX Cylinder Heads
I'm still running a bent up stock swaybar with no subframes or cage after all.

So it seems my thread got 
it's cool though. A big update though below.
A few things have changed, and I feel the change is for the better. I am going all AI for the majority of the build. I am getting AI 215 TFS heads, AI solid roller valvetrain package, AI solid roller cam (Don't know duration, lobe size, etc. etc. yet; should be fairly aggressive though.) I am also going with some Diamond NITROUS pistons for my current compstar crank and rods. The reason being is because I am going N/A with some spray. I talked to Graham over at nitrous outlet and got setup with a nice direct port system for my victor efi. This kit will have the works and I should be able to hit my 700-800 rwhp goals this way. I wanted to make a 1000 but that will have to wait a little while longer.
The reason I decided to go N2O is because I can do it now, unlike the turbo's. It is thousands cheaper than the turbos and I have some sneaky plans up my sleeve for the setup. Hopefully this build will start soon, HOPEFULLY.

The nice part about boost is that you can make up for the deficiencies of a head with turning up the boost level.
It's not ideal to do that, but it is fact.
As long as you have a solid plan on the turbo setup (assuming you are still gonna run twins), then don't loose sleep over it. I would go aftermarket casting because of the thicker deck. It's up to you who you want to do the port work (LE, AI, Port Pros, AFR CNC, etc.). All the options I listed will get you to your goal... especially since you want a modest goal of 1000rwhp with twins.

Yes the avatar is funny, however I would expect more from you than to start with the generic "AI > everything" response that a lot of these other titty babies resort to. I am all for you not following the norm and trying out new things. I wish you the best of success, however don't you think it's a little ridiculous to be comparing what you are doing with your setup to someone who isn't running E85 and is using LTx heads/intake?

Aww c'mon, stop being so serious it's all in good fun. I don't care about Ai, AFR, LE or Richard Simmons. My setup runs what it runs, and the limiting factor would obvoiusly be me not the parts I'm running. I dunno with only 3 decent passes for me, and about the same for Michael it'd be silly to think either of us is at the peak of our game. You sir, are at the peak of your man-crush game for sure
