Advice Needed Again
Guys, I have a stock '98 MN6 with LG headers. I plan on installing the ECS SC later this year. In the meantime, I'm going to pin my crank and install my underdrive pulley, high performance oil pump, and timing chain, should I go ahead and stuff a blower cam in there while I'm that far into it? And if I do, what cam, valve springs, retainers, rockers, lifters should I get? What would you guys do? I know, I know build up a forged block, but that'll have to wait until next year.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
John

You really don't need any of those mods to max out your stock bottom end with a Novi supercharger.
I would skip the UD pulley and cam until you get the supercharger and even then I'd probably run a stock cam (I did) until you have a forged motor.

IMO, just pin the crank until you are ready to go forged and then build a shortblock. Think about how not to spend money twice or do the labor twice... but I guess its no biggie if you are doing the work yourself... some folks enjoy wrenching for fun
