Well I am excited, after 2 years I can afford to do this. Here is the combo so far.

400 2 bolt block, .030 half filled with main studs.
Callies dragon slayer crank
Crower 4340 6 in. rods
either a je/srp, or diamond piston, which ever is lighter.
Afr 210 heads with a little cartridge roll clean up.
Solid roller cam, crower lifters and rockers.
Vic. jr. intake with a 850 holley 4150.
Msd ignition.
The car is an 80 camaro(sorry no chevelle yet), 4.56 gear, 350 trans with a 3000 stall conv. 28 in. slick.

My questions are about cam and compression. I really have not decided if I want o run on pump gas. What kind of power difference will I see from 10 to 1 to 12.5 to 1 with to appropriate cams? If i go 12.5 what size roller do you guys sujest? I am thinking around 290 seat, 104-105 lsa. What kind of power and times do you guys think I will see. Thanks alot for reading.

Oh yeah,
The conv. can be changed. I will call ati when it is time. I am guessing something around 4000-4500. And there is a good poss. this thing will see a 100 shot.
