Good suggestion on balancing. I take it that you don't like my choice in exhaust?

I would have the crank assembly dynamic balanced. The hp will depend on the port work and if you change your exhaust.

My exhaust choice had two deciding factors. One is price. And two is, the Graydon and Sparks pipes are the only two pipes with both larger than stock head pipes and larger than stock mid pipes.
Which equates to better flow on a larger than stock engine. So theoretically both pipes should have superior mid and top then the others. I picked the Graydon because my builder recommended it and it's $130.00 cheaper than the Sparks.

Sorry I didn't notice the pipe in your list I was looking at your sig.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I thought it was funny you were going to use the stock head pipe with that setup. I figured you might want to pull stumps when you were done with it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I was going to save this little bit info for myself although nothing special, but since you have the money right now and I would like to see you run against King Raptor and hopefully beat him. Those guys need a good humbling sometime.
I wouldn't get a new exhaust, just go buy one of the MBRP headpipes. They should fit the Pro-Circuit which I think is a good pipe also. But in the grand scheme of things, what's another $150 for the Sparks over the Graydon. Another but, I've also heard to go with the builders recommendation because they are familiar with that setup but don't just get sucked in with what they sell.
If you don't mind, how is your engine builder? I live in Gilbert and am looking for a good local engine builder. PM me if you don't wish to spread the news too much.
