sounds like a killer combo ...sounds like your goul is off tho ...Im thinking low 9 at big boost high 9 on mild tune

Im working on gathering parts up to build a 016 motor myself but Ima poor guy so probly end up with a eagle crank v/s a bms

Im thinking of offset grinding a eagle and using chebby rods but It will still be shorter stroke than yours... guess it depends on if I find a good deal on a long stoke crank

Im looking to go with stg 2 heads tho .. I just like them

hopeing to find a set of them for good price too even if bare castings ...anyone got some they will part with pretty cheap let me know
