Llyod or AI is the way to go!!! AI will cost more but both will get you there. Of course you will need a head/ cam package, valve springs, and all the suspension upgrades to handle the new power!!! Both will spec you out a cam based on your needs.

i have personal experience with lloyd, ordered cores off him had them ported to le2 package specs, intake ported to match also, loved the final product, and loving my car now besides the few hiccups im having with it. But ported stock heads will fit your goals... lets jsut hope your goals stay there haha, i don't even know what im putting down yet to the rear wheels but lets just say i want more already....

I just noticed that AIs prices have come down. 200cc head capable of supporting N/A 10-second times for $1800. Take a look there.

LOL. Don't get the kids hopes up Joe. That's 10 seconds if you have the $$ to improve the rotating assembly as well.

He said "... supporting..." He did not say bolt them on and it's a guaranteed 10 second slip.

Quite welcome. I'd rather give the OP the benefit of the doubt. Especially since everything is detailed in the sig.

Where you the one that took the dyno vid? If so thanx! Wasn't able to make it when Brian ran it. Funny story about that though, Brian called me up while I was waiting for my little man at school and he asked me if the block was ok enough to spin it higher. He hit 415 @ 6000 on the very 1st pull. "Wow!" is what came out of my mouth then told him the engine was good to 7000. I was more than satisfied and anything more than that was a bonus.

Sorry captain negative but some of us don't have the luxury of having a 1/4 mile track in our backyard. Maybe someday I'll rent that trailer and take it to the nearest track 100 miles away....
