Was thinking about getting a synchrotech trans rebuild kit but if im going H2B in future might as well wait right. My trans is still good as of right now. Any other questions ill answer but I think that sums it up. I will start a build thread when I get the short block.
I will be rebuilding my head with ferrea bronze valve guides, ferrea valve seals, and keepers rest is S2 valvetrain. I have a zenocron mike belben cam degree kit so to much surprise I have and will learn alot since starting, and theres more to come. Thanks for reading, From me to you Happy New years from Schofield barracks HI.

 

For this medium build the ATI might be overkill, with more parasitic loss from the extra weight, but I dunno. I guess that would depend if you're going to rev it 9,000+rpm or not.
Sounds pretty good overall

 

Ok, no engine won't be seeing 9k + , do you think it has the potential to be making power that high with pro1's? Any one have another opinion on the ati? Lower end will be balanced by Golden Eagle and balance shafts deleted. I would think it would be safe insurance though with it, for daily drivers sake.

 

The damper definitely won't hurt anything so you're good lol. The extra dampening is just needed mainly in the higher RPMs I belive, when higher engine harmonics and vibrations start compounding on each other an put exponential stress in internal components.

If the damper is not needed, it may drain a couple hp due to it being heavier than the stock pulley, but definitely won't hurt anything. With a balanced bottom end, your motor would be perfectly fine for DDing, even without balance shafts.
