    Take this from someone who has destroyed engines left and right to figure out what works and what doesn't.

    Don't over torque your ARP heads studs and make sure to use moly lube to torque them.
    Don't use the cp pistons...use Arias or JE
    go for 9.5 - 10.1:1 compression ratio
    Don't use Venom, use Injector Dynamics Injectors

    The days of 8.x:1 compression are over...the systems we have now for tuning are detailed enough and customizable enough to not have to build grand daddy engines.

    Also the question of "how much power do you/I want" is an unnecessary question......you should really always ask yourself "how fast do I want to go" and if you don't know the answer...ask that question to people that can tell you what you need to go as fast as you want to go...whether its on the street on or the track.

    If you are telling someone to go out and get a 50-60 trim sized turbo, YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WITH TURBO ENGINEERING AND FLOW.
