not enough cam for low 11's unless you have a lot of gear. a 557 would get you close and you don't need the heavy 6-pack rods. You probably don't need to stud the motor either. BB heads seal up pretty good, especailly with only 10-11:1
I think he is looking at bare bones options eg. he already has the 6pk rods.
If I was on a tight budget and in your shoes here is what I would do:
- New 9.5 - 10.0 comp Forged Pistons (cheapest ones, maybe used?)
- Ball Hone
- New Rings and Bearings
- New Oil Pump
- ARP Rod & Head Bolts
- Main Studs
- Sell the cam you have and buy a new larger cam
- Do you have headers???
Keep in mind you may want to keep it on the simple side as your income isnt going to be able to support a robust plan at this time. Also keep in mind that there is always something that comes up along the way that you were not expecting that will throw off your budget.
Put it togeather and go racing!
