I think thats everything...I think you should get the big Skunk2 Billet Throttle body though...heard they're pretty good and they're like 50 dollars cheaper than the Edelbrock.

Have you looked at any other cams rather than Skunk2's?

not really, everyone says skunk2 makes the best camshafts. I also thought about ITR cams, but with the skunk2's you get more bang for your buck.

Well mainly because the price, but there are more aggressive cams out there other than Skunk2's, there's Crower, Buddy Clubs, and the list goes on, but if you want power do the research yourself and not try to what everyone says cause not everyone is running an all-motor setup and different factors apply, do what you feel like is good for your setup not what everyone feels like you should do.

buddy club makes some badass camshafts too. you might wanna take a look at those. i think blox makes a 70mm throttle body and it's only around 170 brand new off ebay.

Before you sink the money into valve guides you might want to make sure you need them. If the guides are not done 100% correctly the head will be garbage. If your going to spend all that money to do an NA build buy bigger cams than stage 1 you will not be happy with them.

It's not a N/A build it's for turbo. whoops, probably the wrong section, my bad guys. Im gonna build the head and then toss my b16 block and get a b18c and resleeve it to 84mm then put in cp pistons 10.1 compression, eagle rods, arp headstuds, type r oil pump, acl bearings, etc. That should put out some decent power before the turbo. What do you guys think???
