The only limit to your expectations is the bank account. $$$ is the answer. Spending it correctly is the answer. Come up with a figure and mjr46 can send you in the right direction.Come up with a figure and send him a pm. You have couch commandos clouding up the mudpuddle. Talk to a doer. Not a wisher.

how can you know what your doing for fuel??? if you don't have the heads,cam/ intake, ect ect decided, it wouldn't be wise to build a motor around a single component.
