i ran with HUGE valve relief so i never needed to worry about PTV. But if i ran a Much bigger cam id be in trouble. it ALL depends on top end for ptv. if your gunna spray id say stay in the high compression ratio mostly stock if not stock heads and a mild cam. and you'll be alright.

SRP makes a GREAT set of entry level/cheaper pistons with a good relief and setup for 355 with a 5.7 or 6.0 rod depending on what you want to go with. id say longer rods would be better to keep the R/S angle a little better for a Hit of nitrous.

Yeah, I'm most likely just going to keep my ported stock heads. I figure with 319 at the wheels I'm close to 400 at the flywheel. Knowing the tune was a bit lean I'm hoping to freshen the motor up, change the cam, clean up the tune, and I'm shooting for 425-450 at the flywheel. I'm thinking that's a reasonable goal.
Then I'll probably hit the first stage for 75-100 and have the second stage come on for a total of 175-200 all together. If I go through all of this my target is mid 11's and I'm fairly confident that will get me there.

Just for super budget I was looking at those rods from speedway that suicidal mentioned. But, they were only a 5.7" rod.
And here's the biggest loaded question of all I'd love some input on, any cam recommendations
