Wow that's a lot of really good information! Thank you for that. Well we put on the heads today and will finish up doing the piston to valve clearances on Monday but as for the stock engine building part we are pretty much done. I was a little dissapointed that our spring tention on the Intakes where 100lbs and the exhaust springs where around 80lbs. Another group had 151lb springs so we'll see if that effects anything at all. now that the engine is almost all assembled we need to paint it and put it in the T-bucket and get it ready for next week on the dyno. As we get farther into that area i will post the optional upgrades we can use to see what matches best with what parts. I was told today we need to run our peak horsepower at around 3500-4000 RPM. A friend from another class ahead of me said to use dry ice in the intake to boost about 15HP out to the rear wheels/ i don't know abotu that but I guess it's another idea I can jot down. Again thanks for the ideas and if you have anything else I would love to hear it!
