Default need SERIOUS help

the Summit rebuild kits......good or bad ? i NEED to rebuild my engine and i was lookin at Summit's kit. $470. forged, 10.13:1 compression. is that too high ?? cuz, i am gonna race it sometimes, but, most of the time ill be easy on it. ill probably run an e-cam with it, trickflow heads and trickflow intake manifold. if i get the heads, intake and cam, will i need bigger fuel injectors ?? bigger fuel pump ?? anything else like that. ill also bolt on a 73mm C&L and a 65mm BBK tb. would that combination work well together ?? or any other diff combo work better than that ?? thanks.

the one with standard rod/main bearings is FEM-MHP173-000. you can go to Summits website(www.summitracing.com/) and type in "302 rebuild kit" under keyword and itll give you everything they have.

just be aware that with that compression you will have to run premium high octane gas all the time. I would also check with Summit to make sure the valve reliefs in the pistons can accomodate the 2.02" intake valves in the bigger better flowing heads too.
