I appreciate all ur input on this build. just curious though, as i think it will be more cost effective for me to stick with a solid setup if i buy this short block.

i threw a xs274s 236/242 501 510 cam in the dd2k. it made a nice curve for what i need... i think. slightly lower tq/horse til 4k than ur combo, then opposite. could u do the same and see what u think of it?
