I have a strong suggestion for you. Maybe a couple. First, I can tell you that those of us who are using the WebCam 20/21 grind are VERY happy. My car pulls strong and smooth at 1000 rpm, stronger at 3000 rpm. Peak torque levels out at 4000 rpm and stays there until after 5000 rpm where it falls off very slowly. horsepower curve flattens at 5000 rpm and stays that way until past 6. This car has a power curve like a V8 and is highly fun to drive, as a result.

But there is evidence that you need air volume and air velocity, to make them work best. With your fatter intake runners and low compression pistons, you will not get this velocity. Since your intake system is much more robust than mine, you have the convenient opportunity to just change pistons, or P&Cs to solve that problem. You can use somebody's used set of P&Cs (mine are Alusil and I re-ringed them with no problem whatsoever) which should be available very cheap. Go with a set of the later 9.3:1 pistons, or splurge and get some JE pistons with the more sensible dome shape in the high nines (9.8:1 or something). This, combined with a good set of cams (like the 20/21), will make your car a fire-breathing dragon. You'll have a faster SC than almost anyone else, with minimum cash outlay.
