as long as the stock motor runs good, it will be good. Checking the compression is a great idea also.

I love my HCI motor. Fast as hell and strong. I had GREAT customer service as well.

edit: Oh, and speakin' of compression, mine are all above 170 psi...my stock motor had around 150 in all 8.

if the comp checks good and the motor runs strong why not slap on an s-trim, its cheaper then doing h/c/i

I plan on boosting and squeezing my stock 270k mile 5.0 motor LX into the 10's.

You know, just to prove a point.
