Default Questions/Suggestions for the last few items for my build

I'll start off with my build sheet.

Head:

B16 port n' polished, 3 angle valve job
Skunk2 Tuner Series valvetrains
Buddy Club Spec 4 cams(will be degree'd)
JG adjustable cam gears
Edelbrock Performer X Intake manifold(still have to buy)
Professional Products 68mm throttle body
3" tunable length short ram intake
BPi velocity stack and filter(still have to buy)

Block:
LS Block 81.5 mm
LS crank balanced and micropolished
ACL Race Bearings
Wiseco 12:1 pistons
Eagle H-beam rods


Ok I still need buy a good BUDGET race header that allows me to keep A/C. I know I will get bashed about cheaping out on the header but I'm a full time college student and honestly don't have $700+ to spend on a header.

I'm torn between the kiddracing RMF Narrow and the Highend Tri-Y. Both keep a/c but I want to gain the most power from this setup as possible. Also injectors my builder told me to get atleast 320's, I did some reading and was debating on trying out the RDX injectors, they said you can gain 2-3whp because it atomizes fuel a certain way?? And I will be running 3" exhaust, through a vibrant muffler. Is that too big? I just want to break 220whp on 93 octane.

Any input or suggestions are welcome, thanks for reading.

..I'd suggest a better cam then the BC spec 4's...they will be the limiting factor
I'd go with a RMF replica and a 3'' exhaust.. to make better power..

Really?? I thought they'd meet my goal. I've seen a few setup's on here with them in the 210-225whp range.

Where can I find the Toda copy? I google'd it and found nothing. And Idk it's a number I want to hit and feel I can if, the car is my daily, so more than likely i'll keep it in a few months then sell it and get a stock itr motor.

Whats the point of building an engine if you're just gonna sell it? Look for Spoolin Performance's website.

75 mile round trip to school, I don't think it'd be wise to daily a built motor like that.

That's all in how you put it together man. I've got guys all over the U.S. with 80K miles on built engines going to work every day. It's all in the assembly and balance

If you have such a great builder/tuner then why bother asking us for input? Hes building/tuning it ask him, he knows your setup better than anyone else on here. That is if you have a "builder/tuner"

Idk what you're tryna get at, but if you're implying im lying I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else I bought all this stuff for MY build not my builder or tuner or to get praise on the internet. And obviously no one person knows everything so I asked for input an suggestions. I don't see what's wrong with that?

Just for you;


waiting on BPI stack and throttle body should be here this week.
