Engine Builders talk.
No need for a lightning crank.. Your factory forged is the same.
Don't see any reason for porting heads if you are going N/A and not looking for huge numbers.
I would go with a very slight dished piston -10 or -7 Compression would be great for a NA enginge with a good set of cams.

Yes. The dish of the piston. I don't want to go extreme. Probably a 10:1 compression. I'd like to make power staying naturally aspirated but want to have the potential to boost it in a year or two

You might want to stay around 9 or 9.5:1 with a built bottom. I mean if you plan to boost
Most people sleep at night. I was at work lol And back to the convos.. I have a question. I will be installing my cams and cam towers myself along with secondary and primary chains and tensioners. Do I need to use a degree tool to line them all up correctly or can I just use the teeth on the gears and line up all the timing marks. I dont need to advance or retard them at all just need them to work like stock lol
