new buildup

[Merc]

no real questions here just wanting a little input/feedback,criticism, or suggestions on my newest project. in the works is a B20Z w/B16 head. breakdown of bottom end is

Main girdle
Block guard
Crower Billet rods w/crower rod bolts
Wiseco 12:1 84.5mm pistons
Type R oil pump
gsr water pump
coated bearings
ARP main studs
complete balancing of rotating assembly


top end is

dual valvesprings & retainers (not quite sure what make-I've been told Toda)
gsr cams w/aem adjustable cam gears
(plans include bigger cams in the future)
edelbrock Victor X manifold
spark supplied by MSD

Tuning on Hondata S200

plan on a direct port nitrous setup not sure what shot(s) yet
what make/stage cams would be good to use? thinking bout either crower 402A2s or skunk 2 stage 3s

i'd throw out the block guard and have it sleeved. go with a skunk2 or similar i/m and have it ported. RM m22x cams (my personal favorite) with matching valvetrain. ditch the msd, oem is good enough, just replace cap, rotor, plugs, and wires. cant skimp on a good header. rmf, smsp, hytech, dtr, are all good brands proven to make great power but cost a nice chunk of change and can take a while to get. and a matching 2.5" exhaust to keep things freeflowing.

there is one thing i see that is a little disturbing and it's the fact that you have 12:1 pistons and then you "plan" on having nitrous too. i can't believe you would go there. that's like waiting for a disaster to happen. the name of the game is one or the other. high compression ... or nitrous? not both. why would you spend all of that time and money just to see your engine blow up. just a warning. anyways i also have wiseco 12:1 pistons and i'm running a skunk2 stage 2 valve train and i love it.

nitrous loves high compression. just dont put like a 100 shot on there and have a very good tune and you'll be fine.

I was thinking a 50-75 wet shot. Not direct port yet.

should be straight with a 100 shot aslong as you sleeve it dont use the blockguard just a ticking

with 12.3:1 compression would you be ok with stock sleeves?

that would be dependent mostly on the tune
