Ya but im not gonna get the ported heads, if i do anything im getting the new trick flows for sure. So if i could find a longblock with those heads and they will do whatever cam i want then hellz yes thats what i'd do.

With KB's setup you want to run a low 8.5 compression ratio. For centri blowers you can run stock compression unless you are doing crazy boost run like 15 or more psi you would want to go lower with compression.

you got that backwards! nitrous and high compression go togethor like a hooker and syphylis. blowers need low compression to run high boost.

i would think mmr would be able to do trick flow heads at some point soon, and i cant imagine them being to much more expensive than cnc heads?

ya i got quoted a pretty sweet deal through cushman for head, cams, intake...im leaning towards that route right now, maybe just do that and get some suspension work done this year, and do a shortblock next spring.
