Wasn't sure if this should go in Tech or Talk, so move it if needs be...
Anyway, I started a thread a little while back about adding a Kenne Bell 2.2, porting my X-heads, and getting a water/methanol injection kit and having 450+ rwhp on my GT40 block in the sig below, and I decided to take everyone's advice and not split nearly new block in half and go with stronger block. So here is what I'm thinking.
I found a local deal on a 331 shortblock R302 block bored .40 over with 4340 Eagle rods forged JE pistons and a Scat 4340 crank.
So here are my questions. I was thinking about getting that shortblock and getting my X-heads ported by thumper, and my compression would be 9.0:1 with those heads. First off, would I choke a 331 with a Kenne Bell using ported X-heads, and second would that compression ratio be optimal for 14-16 psi with the KB? If I keep the X-heads, a couple years down the road I would probably get some AFR 205's or something better when I can afford them.
Also, how would the E-303 cam do with this setup? I am thinking I would want to go custom or get a Comp cam.
Last questions, what size injectors would I want? I will be going with either 14 or 16 psi, I was thinking 42# injectors, but that might be too small.
Any input would be awesome, Thanks!
