Otherwise your parts selection is ok. If you don't have the Blue Thunder parts, you may want to look another brand....BBM, Survival Motorsports, etc.

I use Racetec forged pistons in most my builds with Mahle 1.5/1.5/3mm rings. On a factory 428 crank, I use Scat rods.

I'd concentrate on a compression ratio of 9.5-10:1.
Brent,
Thanks. I don't have an intake or heads, so will check out BBM and Survival.

Can I run >9:1 compression ratio with 91 octane without detonation?
