RE: Top End Engine Kit
What kind of power are you looking for? Aftermarket companies use stock castings and port them out themselves. I've heard that Patriot Heads have had some problems in the past with their heads but now they're much better quality. There's also VT and Steen. There are more companies out there. As for the intake... Typhoon makes a good intake and I heard that BBK is just coming out with one.

I'm looking to get some where close or around 350hp. the closer the better. i thought about doing injectors with the heads, cam and intake...

Keeping it a 100% streetable is gonna be tough.
Check for oil pulling from the valve covers into the intake. I'm happy with the patriots. I wish I had a little bigger cams tho.
