I have my mind set up on my top end since I already have the heads although I wish I had gotten a set of AFRs. I will be running Trick Flow Super 23 195cc aluminum heads and a 242/248 (294/300) duration .540"/.562" lift 110 LSA roller cam.
Motor should shift around 6,500-6,600 RPM and be set up for a 100 shot of nitrous. Car will see less than 1,000 miles a year, weighs about 3,200lbs with me in it, 4.10s, trans braked th400 and will maybe see 10-20lbs of nitrous a year max. I'm hoping for about 400whp in the car without the nitrous.
I currently have $1,600 set aside for a bottom end; or at least a good chunk the bottom end. I have a 750cfm holley 4 barrel, the heads, the intake manifold, the long tubes, the distributor and other small parts.
I am looking into a Summit pre-machined 355/383 block for the ease of things although I don't mind having to do the final cut on the bores.

I'm a little up in the air about running a cast crank although I don't think I'd have any issues. One question, how can a crank be good for a 5.7" rod or 6" rod like this one is claiming?

Being 62cc heads and me wanting to keep my compression as close to detonating on 93 octane as possible without milling brand new heads I chose forged Wiseco 13cc dished pistons with 1/16 plasma moly rings.

I have concerns about h-beams clearing, yet these aren't weight matched and I don't know if I am over thinking things or not. Not weight matched or balanced but they are supposively clearanced.

These are i-beams, rated for 550+ HP, lighter weight, weight matched (not balanced) but do not have any stroker clearancing.

I've never been a fan of SCAT rods because of the bolt design and it being a pain to take back apart once it's on the crank but these seem too good to be true. Clearanced, matched and balanced.

PLEASE HELP lol. I feel like I am seriously over thinking things and it's driving me insane.
