Be sure to get long risers and do not try to use silent choice with the bigger cam. Get a big 3" oil cooler the one that came stock is to small. Be sure to upgrade the oiling system with bigger lines and less restrictive fittings. Be sure you get the 30psi diferential valve in the oil pad. Good luck with your build.
