Is this a good combo to run.

X2C Motorsports short block V2.0 with upgraded crank - god for 1100 hp

Patriot Performance heads stage 2

comp cams and springs

BBk valve covers

Canton racing oil pan

Kenne bell 2.2

LT headers

all necessary components

Will this yield a high HP number? About what should I expect?

I would go with Vt engines longblocks: stroker or not, stage 2 heads, stage 1 blower cams, forged or billet.
with a Kb 2.2L and exhaust. I would say around 650 rwhp...

I say either a VT, or MPH short block, stock heads, MPH cams, 8 rib, and headers. And any blower you want.

Get Tim at MPH to tune it and make 620+.

is there anything bad about the X2C shortblock? It is much cheaper in price.

Not always the best...my money would go straight to Tim at MPH in my opinion. You get much more than just a car outta that deal. He has unmatched service.

See, the thing is that I am in South Dakota. I have to drive 4 and a half hours just to get a dyno tune. I will never see or talk to Tim and I need to build all of this myself. It does suck living here.

from what i've read on different forums I think the drive would be worth it. I would take mine to him and I'm in KS! I don't think you would be disappointed. Either way you will have a killer setup!

Either the kenne bell or I was thinking of going NA with nitrous and a reichard racing intake. Can I pust 8000 RPM plus if this engine is balance and has a set of comp cam springs?
