Ive been kicking that idea around for a while now.

But im still undecided and would prefer to squeeze all the potential out the naturally aspirated route rather than juiced.

So i think ill wait and probably do a nitrous kit at the very end when theres absolutely nothing left to bolt on.

Killer, you don't say what the compression ratio is, but you could think about increasing it some by milling the heads and also adding a MSD or other hotter ignition would certainly help some. adding an air pump to pull a vacuum on the crankcase is also another trick to squeeze a few more horses out of any motor. this will reduce the backpressure against the pistons when they are going down on the power and intake strokes. you also don't say if you have a windage tray in the oil pan to scrape the excess oil off the crank. a good windage tray/crank wiper can add 10 HP or more to the rear wheels by keeping the excess oil from churning around with the crankshaft as it rotates. plus it will keep the oil down in the sump where it needs to be for the pump to keep it flowing. a good aftermarket oil pan with side kickouts would also increase your oil pan capacity and keep the oil away from the crankshaft too. you could also look at restrictors in the main oil passages in the block to reduce the amount of oil going to the valves and increasing it to the mains. you could also look at going to a dry sump rather than wet sump oiling system, but don't know that this would cost effective on the street. plus adding a crossover pipe on the dual exhaust will add bottom end torque, but we already talked about that, didn't we? what intake manifold are you using?
