    Well I just sent the head to the machine shop, getting the head ported, and the having the valve seats cut and blended. My issue now is what cam to run the valves are 1.54 intake and exhaust 1.86, not sure if I should go roller or a237 I need some opinions. I'll post some pics as soon as I get the head back.
    Besides having all the head work done what else would it take for 300 rwhp? I got the a brand new t3-t4 hybrid and a volve fmic, new injectors I just can't think what else I've got pretty much the entire engine down to the wirring harness and fuel pump.
    post some ideas for me

    1. Better intercooler
    2. Full 3" exhaust, if you don't have it (i'm talking from the turbo outlet back)
    3. Lower-compression pistons (so you can run more boost)
    4. Adjustable boost controller
    5. Bigger throttle body (There are guys out there who will bolt up a Ford Racing 65mm unit for you)
    6. ------- More when they come to me

    The A237 might work good, but i'm not too sure since it's a n/a-specific configuration. The Ranger roller should be fine as well.
