No hood mods right ? Once I take a look at the pics, it will answer alot of my other questions

I think with 7 lbs you'll be fine with 91 octane. Do you have any interest in building an engine? With roundish #'s it looks like $2,500 to $3,000 in parts to build a like new condition long block with the right pistons. I still need to look into the valve train and see what we can do there; with 24 of them the factory parts prices really add up and the factory valve tension seems a little soft to me for higher boost levels.
$900 je forged pistons with offset pins, lightened pins, pin fitting, double pin oilers, contact reduction, and ring sets (repositioned)
$250 gasket set
$250 main bearing set
$250 rod bearing set ($150 for cobb bearings)
$150 oil pump
$100 water pump
? valve springs, seals, lash adjusters, etc
