    And every one else for your help. I know to play you gotta pay. But I was hoping for another's input if I may have missed a better option this I may have miss. The build I came up with is around 3800. With out block decked cleaned honed cam bearing and freeze plugs. Just was looking for some one else's input for some help with it. 375-400 rwhp. Is just around what I am looking for. Thanks a lot and If any one else has any other opinions just let me know please. And glen what compression ration would be good for this on premium pump gas?

    James,
    Something to consider, "premium" pump gas varies from place to place, so if you're planning on this being a driver any distance from home you might want to dial back the compression to something that supports say 89 octane. Around here there are only a handful of stations that sell premium ethanol free, and they may disappear soon. The octane of the premium ethanol blends varies from 91 to 93, which is a pretty wide range as it affects timing.

    I'll butt out now, and let you get the answers you want.
