I think that a girdle should be added.
I alo don't know a thing about the company that makes the cam/rockers/pushrods.
Never heard of them in fact.
Trying to save a few bucks here could get expensive. I'd do name brand stuff and I like Smith Bros pushroods, can't kill em.......

well if you get afr's they tell you what intake match's the head ports.
tell you the truth if that was motor,and have that much into it..i'd get a custom cam..only way to go.

O Yea! I wouldnt go any other way either, they are going to do a custom grind for me. Im just not sure how big I want to go yet. I think that Im going to keep it right around .600 though so I still can maintain a nice wide powerband.

Im sorry I forgot to mention but it does come with a girdle. Also, they have been making theyre own parts for over 15 years and they are far from crappy. The rockers are good too 850HP and Ive heard ALOT of good things about their company. And I'm using Manley Chromoly pushrods. Also, Im not trying to save a few bucks. Theres no point of building a motor like this if you are on a budget. They are a big company but they are just not advertised like everyone else. They build great motors and they have been doing it for a LONG time. They have been used in Overhaulin and they are building a 347 stroker for Horsepower TV on spike. Their site doesnt have that much on there but you should check it out.
F-P-S.com. Ask RacerX how they are, hes the one who turned me on to them.
