Well I was thinking tonight. Originally I was thinking of putting a bigger cam in the engine that is sitting here, and getting a forged crank.......

I was thinking maybe I should just get the intake ported for my 58mm plate, and get a 58mm TB, if its not already done, stud the mains, and call it a day.
What would you guys do? If I get a cam I'd probably have to do valve springs and retainers and if I get a crank get **** rebalanced. The engine is ready to go now, it the Merv's old rig. It made 335rwhp through his dying auto, I figure if I just stick it in the car as is I should make about 350rwhp. And still have the 200 shot. Well whats your guys opinions? I'm really starting to sway away from the cam idea, and causing all that drama.

It's got Forged Rods and Pistons, I see it handling a 150 Shot no problems, that's probably all you need. The Heads and Intake are Port-Matched and it runs at about 11:1 Compression, so it would love a little bit of juice.

Hey merv, are the mains studded? If not I guess I will do that and pray the crank doesn't cry uncle under the nitrous, its going to be RPM progressive through a FJO. I just want to get it done.
