ok i am doing almost the same build right now. first with the stage 2 head **** the STock valve guides! upgrade to their Bronze Valve guided! Cams are good, screw the cam gears you dont need them! intense racing costs too much for their pistons go directly through Diamond Racing. I saved over 200 by going directly through Diamond! Also get neutral Balance shafts if you are going for over 350 whp! and u can just get the rods if you want. I didnt want to have to tear down the motor again I wanted to do it all at once. You will need the cometic head gasket, Head Studs for sure! Everything I ordered is in my sig!

 

so first is taht it???

and where can i get the bolded???

i can get the balance shafts and valve guides from jbp also correct??

and from what i see you are saying

bronze valve guides
neutral balance shafts
cometic head gasket
and head studs

 

1) read my sig to find out what else you need
2) valve guides are offered through JBP
3) Balance Shafts- CrateEngineDepot.com
4) Head Gasket, Head Studs, Rods- CobaltPerformanceParts.com
5) You will need New Piston Sleeves- Dealer can special order them!

 

ok thanks for all the help

what kind of numbers do u think you will be putting down with just internals???

and does anyone else have any input??

 

I honestly dont know. with everything I have a guy put down 425 with a 2.6 pulley... so I plan on being around there safely, plus add in the head and cams which he didnt have... hehe

 

If you have any further questions with your build, call us up and ask for Mev.

 

cam gears are more than neccesary they make or break tuning, they will get eveyrthing possible out of cams, you cannot take full potential of your cams w/out cam gears, so def put those on your list

 

so i have one vote for cam gears and one against...

any other input or votes???

y wouldnt i need them if i shouldnt
