What should i do after I get the P&P PI Heads, Comp Cams, and Longtubes put on?? I was thinking building bottom end, adding a blower (Procharger 8lb w/Intercooler) and spraying a 75 shot LOL what do you guys think?

I will in about 2 months. Would that be the way to go? What pistons, rings, and crank should i go with?

The crank isn't the weak link, it's the rods and pistons. I went with Diamond Pistons and Manley rods along with my stock crank. The stock Nodular Iron crank is a stout enough piece and unless you're planning on pushing things past 600hp or 6,500RPM, I wouldn't even bother replacing it.

....as for the Nitrous vs Blower thing. Totally different animals. The nitrous will be cheaper, but the blower will be there all the time. S'up to you, I guess.

Oh.....well, in that case.....why bother? A water methanol kit would be cheaper and safer. Guys spraying nitrous with a blower are the ones that don't run any sort of aftercooler with their set up (of which the Procharger kit has) or that are making BIG power levels. Why not spend the money he'd use on the nitrous, on an after cooler upgrade?
