also think about getting your crankshaft and bottom end bullit proof. Ge t your crank knife edged and you should be set. Im not a big fan of JE Pistons tho. Id probably go with something else. I forget who makes pistons for that motor. Also, ever thought about swapping an SRT-4 motor and tranny into that with all that $$$ you got? Stock SRT-4 bottom end can do 1300whp and there doing it NOW in NHRA...stock motor can do a little over 500whp...think about it...
