What CR are you going with? Come on, up the cam size. With the Eaton and a good flowing engine I would run a 224/230 cam, at least that's what I am going to do. With all the power you will be making and the ongoing debate on crank snout issuies I would not run a stock crank balancer. Have you ever been over to www.SCCOA.com

Sounds badass though. I'm jealous though because my build has been stuck on the backburner for a while now.
