Help spec'ing out a new small block

Exactly! The cost is high and to much for my wallet.
We can do very well on the 59* cam and a stock block can go pretty far. Exceeding that is a deep dive into the expensive parts.
Bracket racing, IMO, really doesn’t need these parts for the most part and those expensive parts are great for the heads up and go fast anyway you can to win crowd.

My wallet isn’t that thick.
