What to do, to build an S65?

Ive tried reading through countless threads and putting all the information together, and its great stuff to read, but not easily accessible and good for quick reference.

If we could stay on topic, eliminate bias, and offer reasonable solutions to what I would like to accomplish, that would be great.

The basics:

4.0L S65 built for mild boost increase/ mildly increased HP (over stock motor limits)/maximum reliability ( 12PSI ~650rwhp )

The constraints: $10,000 for motor/fuel system parts ONLY (disregard cost of labor, method of boost, transmission, gauges, etc)

1. CR. how low do we go? 11.5, 10.5, 9.5? Personally prefer to stay closer to stock as it should be easier to hit target goals without too much compromise.

2. Heads. Seems to breathe well enough already, worth touching?

3. Cams. I dont see why as it already revs high enough, but any thoughts?

4. Crank. Who what and why

5. Rods. ^

6. Pistons. ^

7. Valves. ^

8. Springs. ^

9. Bearings. ^

10. Gasket. ^

11. Studs/bolts/ ancillary items ^

12.Fuel system components. All?



It would be great if when responding, we knew exactly who currently offers the components, the specs in which they are preferred, and price.

This should make it easy for everyone to know what is involved.
