I take it you're not buying these rods and pistons from me then. That's alright, I just wanted to know so i stop checking my PM's since you had someone get ahold of me over the vacation weekend to get back with you about them.
Well just an update. Still havnt gotten the heads or supercharger in yet and was tired of just looking at the car sitting there so I decided to install the headers and exhaust so that one less then I have to do when they do come in. I was only able to get the passenger side header in. Man what a PIA slip on headers are. I'll have the drivers side on tomorrow
I did this on jack stands on my old Roe car, TNT slip fit headers. Took me a 6 pack on each side. I knew it was going to be a pain in the ass, which helped my patience a bit(along with the beer).
I would say that the hardest part was getting the collector on there. Loosening one pipe then tighten another tell I got it to slip in about 2 to 2 1/2 hrs from start to finish
Well finally an update. I got some of the kit in from RSI. Installed a new professional products balancer from will at RSI that he Gave me for free after I broke my finger and The stock damper! I had to the the s/c pulley machined to fit in the balancer and I also pinned the crank
Nice, have an idea of when you're expected to have everything together? If I remember right, you said you were not going with forged parts at this time and only going to keep it around 6 or 7 psi with the stock cast pistons in?
Anyway, all the best to you in getting everything together and tuned right.

Sorry for the late response. I talk to Greg Friday and he promised my heads would be shipped out next week and ill have a flow sheet as well. I'm not going forged I'm shooting for 7 to 8 psi with Todd at a/c doing the tune. Once I get the heads in I can measure and order the push rods and have the motor together before Xmas. This depends if RSI ships the other half of my kit next week
