thats what i was saying about the systemax by holley, for a little over $2000 you get the whole kit, cam,timming,push rods,intake,plenum,heads. im running dss forged nitro pistons in mine but keith black pistons are exceptionaly good.

RE: whats the best setup
well the prob is i most likely am goin with a explorer intake, along with the gt40p heads, and i was wondering what cam really would be the best
i m doin this on a strict budget
i also am asking if those pistons are the same clearance and will fit up to the stock connecting rods
