i would probably grab an eagle kit,

B16123 / good for up to 500HP / 10.1:1 with a 64cc head - great for running with premium pump gas
B16125 / good for up to 500HP / 11.7:1 with a 64cc head

Cast Eagle crank, I-Beam rods, forged pistons, perfect circle rings, clevite 77 bearings. the "B" in front of the part number means it already balanced, you can drop the "B" and get it unbalanced which may be better cause your machine shop should be balancing it with your flywheel/harmonic balancer and they are gonna charge you the same weather or not the rotating assembly is already balanced.

they'll need your pistons before they can hone your block (they can go ahead and bore it) - be sure to get the block decked too, most people slack on that and theres no reason for that crap.

those are good heads, i know everyone raves about aluminum stuff but world heads are kick *** too.

that kit looks like it is using good components, my best guess on compression with the flat tops is something close to 11.7:1 with 64cc heads (which is what your world heads are according to their specs) cause thats what the eagle kit is with flattops. the 19cc dish eagle kit is the 10.1:1 with 64cc heads so my guess is it would be the same there too. 1 outta 10 chances are both kits are using the same pistons.

if your gonna get that kit, again your machine shop should be doing a balance on it anyways so i dont think its worth the 170.00 for the 28oz balancing. (you'd just be paying for it twice)

that intake will work but with those heads and your displacement your gonna see better gains with a single plane intake - im sure your want to drive it around so i'd settle for something like a performer rpm airgap. if the stealth is still new i'd see if you can exhange it for the edlebrock honestly.

you heads will handle up to a .560 lift cam, but you dont wanna push things to the limit or they wont last as long. i would grad something with a lift in the .525 - .540 range..... im sure theres a bunch of cams to choose from.

did i mention this thing is gonna be nasty? lol

If you run a more radical cam you won't build cylinder pressure as strong at lower rpm and should be able to run '93'. Just keep the static compression to 10/1 and you should be ok.

you gotta run the 19cc dish with a pump gas 408, right around 10:1, flat top wont work for you
