New guy with some pics

[03DSGGT]

I posted over in the introductions page, but Im sure theres not a whole lot of traffic over there, so I figured Id throw a few pics up with some specs of my car. First off, its a 2003 GT 5 speed. Its N/A, but may be getting a shot of nitrous soon. The bottom end is a 97 NPI which I freshened up the past winter. It has the stock crank which was polished, tri metal main and rod bearings, stock rods with ARP 2000 rod bolts, sealed power .020" over pistons, 3V windage tray, Marauder balancer, and Canton road race oil pan. Compression is right at 11.7:1. Heads are the Trick Flow 38cc's and Ive added the GT 40 cam followers. The cams are a Stage 3 TFS specific grind from Modular Head Shop, and were degreed as well. Intake is the stock plastic unit and I have all the other basic boltons. Gears are 4.30s, and it has a drag style suspension front and rear. Here are some pics, hope ya like:

Good looking car. Sounds like a fun combo under the hood. Question out of lack of knowledge on the subject on my part, but is there an advantage to using
the NPI block out of the pre-99 cars vs the block that would have come in your car from the factory? I didn't know if one was stronger than the other or what not...
