Also would I get any gains from going with roller rockers?

you have a mod motor, not a pushrod...

we have followers, not rockers. the only option for us are Ford GT followers and unless youre building an 8000+ rpm motor they arent worth the money...

arp hardware, a good oil pump, high-lift valvesprings, felpro gaskets and other hardware needed

Ever consider any sort of methanol injection?

Livernois says that valve springs are included with their heads.. I'm looking into the conversion to E85 but dont know what all I would have to change.

you shouldnt have to change much. You will just need to confirm with Lethal that their system is compatible for E85, and you may POSSIBLY need bigger than 80# injectors

Depending on how much boost i say you will need bigger injectors, I would say just get bigger ones to be safe since you can never have too much fuel and then you wont have to buy injectors 2 times. And it sounds like you are going to have a nasty car if you get the parts that are in your list. What numbers you shooting for?

I'm aiming for at least 700hp. Its costing more than I expected to convert from 2V to 4V.

Is there a website you can find gas stations that sell methanol. I know there are 2 near me that sell E85.. also what concerns would I have running a meth system?
