I see you went with a 5.7 short block. Why not go a little bigger with the amount of power you want with spray.

Its what I've been telling everyone, you dont need big cubes when using power adders to get the job done. 5.3's and 5.7's have been proven to produce good numbers with proper internals, and leaves room for other upgrades, $$$.

It'll be fun either way...

Call Thompson up, and let them know what you are looking for. Kyle is very knowledgeable and can help you out, regardless of set up/budget.
