Budget 383 for a 150 shots NOS

Thinking of the Eagle kit from summit ESP-B13004L030 $ 1174.95would it be ok to go with 150 shots NOS plate kit? Can’t afford a forged kit Do I have to buy the kit and replace the pistons with forged ones

any recommendations would be great full

It should say how much hp that crank can handle. You can also call Summit and ask them for sure. I wouldn't put nitrous with that kit personally.

you should run forged parts with a power adder, but i guess you wouldn't have to. lot depends on how long you'd like it to last.

Yes it will work fine as long as you don't lean it out too much. Will this be EFI or carb?
