Not a thing in the world wrong with JE Pistons. It's as top notch as they get, IMO.
^They said they use diamond pistons on N/A motors but on F/I motors they use JE.
:thumbsup:
:thumbsup:
Oh well....
diamond and JE are both top notch pistons so either way you go im sure you wont be disappointed
First post in a long time, but here goes. I did Crower stage 3s when I had my car, and even though they sound awesome, they aren't worth it for the power. I went from 450ish rwhp to 479rwhp after cams. I was planning to do a TS, but I sold the car before that panned out. Basic point being, if 500-550rwhp is all that you want, cams and head porting aren't worth it. If you plan to keep the car and want to go for big power later down the road, you may want to try to swing it while the motor is apart. It's a lot less down time (if that matters to you) and it's less risk of messing other things up in the motor the less you tear it all down. If I were you, going with a built motor now, I'd pull out all the stops that I could. You know that you're going to want more power after you drive it for a week or two. I don't care who you are, the thrill goes away to an extent after you drive it one way for a while.
Yeah i'm just going to stick with the stock cams/heads.
If all that you're ever going to go with is a ported eaton, then that is a smart decision. Save that money and buy some gas to drive the shit out of your car.
how much is the build costing, if you don't mind my asking?
The estimate is $5,989.05 that is including labor.

It think they are going to start tearing it down this week!
op:
op:$6k? OUCH!!
^Yeah that's what i said....I just want that damn knocking to stop...It's embarrasing.
Not trying to hijack your thread but, porting the heads takes care of the heating problem in the 7th and 8th cylender correct? If not what does, other than the head cooling mod?
I'm not sure if porting the heads helps the problem or not....maybe someone will chime in....You could get the 05 updated heads that don't have the cooling problem.
^^^where is the best place to get thoes?
