[Snoop_gee]

The prb head casting(k20a, k20a2, k20z1) has more material in it before you hit the water jackets so it can take a bigger port, so a fully ported prb head will flow better than fully ported rbb head.

appreciate the info.

Depends how far you want to go snoop, what are your goals?

I have thought about this many of times.
Though focusing more towards Street, reliable Performance in the way of acceleration.
Low and mid to be very sharp and responsive dont really care as much for top end.


And this is the list i have so far

Naturally Aspirated only
Turbo - not interested


Compression
Max suited for regular pump fuel definitely NOT E85.
with the k24 having 12:5:1 i was told would be best suited for my application street but anything higher than that wouldnt tune so well unless its E85.
Clarification and thoughts? about this...

Cam's
Q.aggressive cams does that mean stage 3-5 best suited only for a k24 head while stage 1 and 2 suited for k20 head. ?


Head
valves springs (dual - yes/no?), retainers, Valve Guides, valve stem seals
what would i need to suit aggressive N/A cams


Fuel injectors
Injector size is 1000cc excessive for a built k24?? or what would be best suited for the parts and compressive above.

Intake is going to be 80-90mm
which intake manifolds give that sharp acceleration?

Pistons and Rods suited for reliability on the street and best acceleration in the areas mention. (low and mid)
Dont even know where to start. Would really like some help.

is there anything else i have missed?
