Ok so I decided to do.the rebuild. Is there anything I should do while the engine is out to help with performance? I'm definitely doing over sized pistons. The amount depends on the machine shop. I am doing a 3 inch downpipe, and contemplating the home made bellows. I want to do stage 1 sticks, but that May come later on. What would you do other than what's listed?

Sounds like fun alright. I am her reading your plans and getting really jealous. Mine runs great, but I would love to freshen it up and have the rotating assembly balanced.
