Currently I have a set of rebuilt 452 heads and I'd like to see if I can get some feed back on the piston/Cam selection that I'm thinking of going with. This is just going to be a street cruiser, I have no intentions of hitting the 1/4 mile For Pistons I'm thinking of speed pro's SEAL2315F And For a camshaft I'm thinking of Comp Cam's Xtreme Eng. with a duration of 218/224 or the Mag Muscle at 222/226. My main concern of course would the the comp ratio I end up with and if the 452's were the best choice or if they'll be a good match up. Any advice or recommendations would be helpful. Thanks Guys Slim Check out the story of this Family Classic http://63plymouth.com/Donna's Fury.html

With this information, and an email I just received it looks like this might be the cam pick Xtreme Energy�, XE268H Great for Street Machines, Slightly Rough Idle http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/CamDetails.aspx?csid=707&sb=2. I'd like to also go a bit higher on the piston, but so far the best I can find with Speed Pro is a 9.01. Thanks for the info!

No need to settle for that. Check out kb's offerings. You can easily get the CR AND QUENCH that's right for you and if you get your foundation (the short block) spot on then any addition (heads/cam/intake/carb/tuning will only compliment your build and you wont have to ever give it a second thought about what you left on the table because you didn't select the correct pistons the 1st time. live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
