so how much will everything cost?
SC+cams + tax +shipping=???


should I port the FR head more I should I just leave it alone? meaning how much more of a power gain will I get?

well, if there was a really good tuner in your area, i'd say you could run it on the stock engine. as i do not know of any decent tuners in Ontario let alone really good ones, i do not suggest running the BBK on the stock engine.

you could drop the compression with a SVT headgasket which would give you close to 9:1 comp. this swould be a boost friendly compression and not be too low for a roots blower. the worst thing you could do would be to drop your compression BELOW 9:1 on a roots application.
the head wouldn't make much difference nor would the studs, it's tuning and compression that are the issues you have to address for the BBK.

as for the total cost with cams, tax and Shipping, $4500cnd! :)

as for porting the FR head, there is no real need to do so. if you do anything have some chamber work done to unshroud the valves and remove any casting imperfections which could cause "hotspots".

I have an Extra SVT headgasket, i'd have to double check the price on it if you are interested...
