cylinder head question?/AGAIN
Well, that's a big range and the message I was trying to get across. BUT, your questions...
Now I just need to know how to choose a cam , camshafts are foreign to me when it comes to duration lift and centerline and all that.I also want to know will my stock con-rods hold up to that amount of power or will I have to purchase stronger ones??
On the con rods. The OE units can handle the HP. BUT If they require resizeing, striaghtening , balanceing, well, the cost of doing so can add up very quickly and end up more than new rods. The OE rods strength is not in question at these levels, correcting any issues with them is and at the cost it'll take.
On a cam, this is a street engine?

Hyd. cams are easiest to drive and live with and require zero maintanice. (SP?)
