Are you talking 300 all motor? That's pretty much impossible with stock displacement and no power adders imo. I'm currently on point to be the first to break 200hp NA, but given your set up, whatever I pull off, you should be able to top. I think the one thing holding you back at this point (besides the cooling issues - which I'm unable to help with) is those funky cams. I think somewhere up there you said they were 2.4L or something. I dunno, but if you want to get the most out of that motor of yours, you need to invest in some serious, quality cams. I'm still planning on running Crower 3s. I think I'll be the only one here doing so. They are the equivalent to something like a Crane 18.5 or something. Just a little more bang for the buck. :P

As for the sealant, the copper stuff is good stuff, but not for the bedplate. We use the copper spray on all kinds of stuff down here in Arizona, but the bedplate is not one of them. For the amount of work it takes to get the bedplate off, it's only smart that you use the right stuff so you never have to do it again. Wouldn't you agree? Get the anaerobic and get it done right so you don't have to worry about that thing leaking.

Keep up the work man. You coming to the Shootout in Ohio this August? Details can be found in the 2004 Shootout forum.
