Your putting a lot of $'s into the bottom end to be choosing a hypereutectic piston. If your going to all the trouble of a 6" rod, and not doing a forged piston,, I'd question why????

I'd also suggest you get the heads you want, (the 305 heads on a 350 deal just kills me) And get the cam you want and break the motor in right, with the parts you want. Circulating trash through the engine for a second cam break in really sounds counter productive to me.

Sounds like your looking for a decent street performer,, brand aside, I'd suggest a 1-5/8" long tube header MINIMUM.

Of all the head choices out there today,, TFS would be one of my LAST choices,, but that's all just my 2¢

When you're dead, it's only a problem for the people around you, because you don't know you're dead. .....It's kinda the same when your STUPID. I just did my taxes and reviewed my SS statement. Thanks to the current administration it looks like I will only have to work till noon on the day of my funeral.
