Default Top end upgrade in process

It's been a couple of years getting to this point but the parts are finally here for my top end rebuild.
Going with + .010" over Keith Black domed pistons, Fueling HP+ lifters, Andrews EZ Install adjustable push rods, S&S 510V cam, an S&S reed type breather valve and a new Ultima ignition. Cylinders are honed and the heads were reworked with a 3 angle valve job, guides and springs.
I'm not sure how much of a difference over stock that it will all make but I do hope it livens it up a little.

Sounds good, what compression will you be running with those pistons.
