I bought a '99 long block with decent compression - above 180 in all cylinders. The seller didn't provide leakdown numbers, but I am planning to do that before I proceed any further. I am contemplating going with an '01 block for slightly higher compression(I don't mind paying for premium fuel).
I plan to run the stock ECU, but might add a MS later on, I know I won't be able to keep it stock, I'm crazy like that... questions: 1. Is it with going with an '01 bottom end for slightly higher compression? ie, a worthwhile performance increase? 2. What about a mild shaving the '99 head - good idea/bad idea? 3. If leakdown #'s are good/low is it worth pulling the head to clean it up and/or doing a valve job? 4. Is it worth doing a minor DIY port/polish on the '99-'00 heads? 5. Should I install a higher flow fuel pump for the larger injectors?
