Well I've decided on the Lunati Voodoo 60622 hydraulic roller.
282/290 adv dur
231/239 @.050
.600/.600 lift
110/106

My DCR will still be rediculously low at 7.4, but I can't do much about that now. I'll definately be able to run 87 in it.

I am looking at using Comp 914 springs so I can use my TI retainers. If I install them at 1.860" it will give me 146 on the seat and 372 over the nose. Will this be ok for factory hydraulic roller lifters?

I also think I'm going with a Vic Jr for intake with the gear change to 4.11's

DD2000 tells me 513hp @ 5500 and 543lb-ft @ 4500 using the flow numbers listed earlier. I'm hoping that translates to 400hp at the rear tires.

Now I need to pick a converter. I'd like something pretty tight in the 3000-3500 range. I like my Hughes GM25 converter since it only has about 3% slip at the big end on the track and doesn't create much heat when cruising. I am also thinking I need to go with a smaller diameter converter to reduce the rotating mass of the drivetrain.

What do you guys think?
