Default Big bore plan..need insight before I pull the trigger.

Been talking with Scott and Hillside (most likely getting on his nerves lol). My current plan is their 98" Big Bore, stage 2 heads with compression releases, Andrews 57, ported manifold, DTT ignition, and all the other crap that comes with the it.

I know I'm running true duals so that will some performance. Not a concern. My question is the Andrews 57 my best choice for all arpundits power? I want a reliable engine that cam run on pump gas. However I do want the most I can get out this little Twinkie. Any ideas or input before I do this? My engine parts are ready to be shipped. Just want to get it right the first time and don't want to be disappointed when it's all said an done.

Andrews 57 is a good all around cam for a 98" Trust Scott, I did and couldn't be happier.

A good build/builder has to have all the right parts to come together... They should know what parts are needed to achieve your wants.


IMO if you explained to him what your Needs and wants are.. then you either trust his judgement 100% or not.

If Not,, then I am thinking you need to look elsewhere to have you work done..
