To tell you the truth Mr P Body I have no idea what kind of rpms we will be trying to turn? I know this combination calls for alot of rpm but our set up really isn't rpm friendly at the moment IMO.. The engine has been close to 7800 rpm but since we have such weak valve spring pressures it doesn't like it so much. Our highest valve spring on the seat was only like 112 lbs.. SO we would deffiently have to change valve springs, oiling system, possibly cam and all of the buttons in the engine that holds everything together! I would love to put the 5.13 gears I have sitting in the box and go racing but I don't know what rpm it's going to turn. It has some what of a tight converter and 29.5x10.5 hoosiers that measure 30.6 tall and 11.1 wide. Circumfrence is 96" at 10 lbs and 96 1/2" at 11 lbs. A few people think we are only going to go through at 6800-7200 rpm and some people think 8000 rpm..

Revving the crap out of it isn't going to make you necessarily faster. Those springs won't like past 5500-6000 if you have 3/8" stem valves.
The M1 for W2 heads is water heated, it's not the best intake for a stroker, but I don't see it being too much of an hindrance on your engine.
As Mike pointed out, you have a bunch of other issues with your combination that you should be worrying about.

Make a list, test at the track, Record your data.

Alan, MoPar has W2 intakes that are not water heated. The unit that is water heated is considered there street strip.
