I don't trust that type of pistons, they are not only heavy but they are also brittle.
Get the wieght of the car and an honest MPH at the strip and we can tell you just how good it is.....

^^^ what he said but but I could be very wrong but with the rpm's you're gonna have to spin the motor I feel like the intake mani is gonna hold you back and choke the motor up top unless it's a ported typhoon intake.

did you do ANY port work ? i think a little goes a long way for some things

IMO, you should always port match the lower to the heads, and the heads will respond really well to porting the exhaust to a gasket match, also a good multi angle valve job

your probably looking at only $300-$500 max in labor

there are other things...like if your heads have a thermactor bump, milling them to bump compression, smoothing the intakes, or bowl work

but the few things i said i feel are critical for good velocity and smooth airflow
