Like Bryan said... the builds both of did absolutely ROCK!

Mine is a 98" Head-Quaters build using Head-Quarters modified stock heads setup @ 10:1 CR, HQ-0039G cams, and a D&D FatCat exhaust. It makes 113/111 and will flat GET-IT anytime, anywhere. Mine was roughly $2500 + pipe + tuning.

Your best bet is to assemble a list of your goals, requirements, and wishes. Then call a couple reputable places (HQ, GMR, etc) and discuss it with them. Compare the recommendations and choose one. Then FOLLOW thier recommendations!

ORIGINAL: 2d3k2h

still lookin for advice on what to do and costs;can you guys give me some parts and build costs....Thaks
I gave you prices in my earlier post........that is for a budget build.

I did the build in my signature for $1400 in parts, $300 for dyno tune, and I did all the work myself (12 hours labor).

My future changes will be another $400 in parts/services, and another dyno tune, plus the labor (approx. 6 hours).

If you are paying for labor, I would expect a dealer/indy to take about 10 hours for the motor work.....that would be about $800 +/-. So factor that into whatever the parts are going to cost that you decide to go with.

If you only want to do it once, and get 100/100 or more............I would look into the Head Quarters HQ-0039 cams. They are very hot right now and are producing 110/110 and more. They like 10-1 compression or more, and you can use SE 1550 flattop pistons. Just have your heads done and make sure they cc and mill them for the correct compression.
