Possible engine rebuild....need some ideas....

[Addict]

Some of you may have read my post about the possible hydrolock on my car. I've been toying with the idea of having it built up.

I'd like to get some stronger rods, pistons, & bolts at least. I don't want to lose my compression ratio (10.2:1). I may be adding a supercharger/turbocharger (likely some laughing gas as well) later, but I figure with a stronger bottom end there's no need to lower the compression. This car is very much a daily driver (50 miles a day just to/from work).

I'm not real concerned with the top end yet. In my opinion the cams should come last. I'd hate to get a set for N/A then end up going FI. Are titanium valve springs worth the money? What about new valves? I've heard good things about Ferrea.

Basically my questions are:

1. What "equipment" would you all recommend?
2. What type of pricing should I expect for the "equipment"?
3. What about an idea on labor pricing?
4. Anything else I should look into?
5. Places to buy?



BTW, I'll be replacing that fuggin' CAI with a short ram......
