Your picture didn't work and your post seems like you are a little uninformed... I wish you would have posted in here, I would have told you not to run an NA motor, a lot of money for only 30hp... For the money you are putting in and another few thousand, you could have had a boosted motor whether it be super or turbo charged. I hope everything goes well for your engine installation, and I don't even want to think about how much money you overpaid for someone else to build your motor for you, doing the work yourself probably would have saved you enough to buy the above mentioned super/turbo charger.

Nonetheless, I hope everything goes well for you and when stuff doesn't go right, and it will, post in here and there are many of us who have a lot of experience with this sort of build. I hope you enjoy about 300hp!

since when is "eagle rods" part of whole 9 yards? maybe 3 yards and some dust... if you are serious about NA build then the magic is eliminating rotating mass/weight... eagle rods do neither other than a cheap option... will be good enough for street use but not suitable for 10,000 RPMs (thats where some real power is letting the heads breath!!!)

Pistons? it says wiseco pistons... now I am confused... I never said that you need to spend $25,000 on your NA build... just saying that eagle rods are not "the whole 9 yards" since we are on the subject... the OP is missing alot of info
1. WTF is a stage2 block? is it HR cooling clearance to use HR headgaskets? or some label put on the short block you bought?
2. what kind of JWT cams??? they make more than 1 cam grind
3. what size pistons? over bore or stock?
4. bigger radiator? please don't say mushimoto crapo...
5. mixing exhaust parts? stealin's headers with invidia test pipes, why that pairing much better options at a lower cost
6. wet or dry nitrous? multi port or single port?
anyway good luck with the build...
and if you want better pistons use HR pistons

close what thread? I didn't start a thread on a "fully built NA build" with luke warm results... in all technicality all stock engines are "fully built" the factory workers don't leave any parts off for you to install... is that what you ment by fully built? now I understand... you didn't mention any hardware used to build this engine... I heard JB weld works great

JB weld doesn't work in the ***... it needs a dry surface to bond... and im not trying to bash your work... im saying that there is a lack of information that was left out in your "build". I am glad that someone wants to do their own work... trying to fill you in that there is better parts to use that don't cost as much, and better places to put money, if you weren't so defensive then you could see that I can help you with your questions... it is 2013 and you get so offended that a computer screen has words on it that don't fit in with your ideology... maybe you need some anger management classes
