Also, it will be silly of you to want to push 35+psi and not run some L19 Arp head studs.. How soon where you looking to do all this

Yupp, you are exactly correct! But think about it dude, you want 700WHP!!! Thats almost 800 AT THE CRANK...Do i think it will hold with the H beams?? Yes it might but for how long, but it would be silly not to spend an extra $350-400 and have reassurance and a worry free mind..Your already gonna spend a min of 5k on this build prob..don't cheap out..

Carrillo H-beams are fine, but the price isn't. The other H-beams (Eagle, Manley) are the cheap, Chinese made ones you mentioned (e.g. $300), and you don't want those.
Stick with better parts and don't concern yourself with saving nickels and dimes. The savings aren't worth it, especially not for what you're trying to do.

keep clearance on .02, you need a new head gasket, get a mitsu one. Youre gonna need resurface the deck and the face of the head. The oil that u can use is gonna be 10W30 or 15W50 if youre racing a lot.
