anyone?? i know it was asked before but... everyones questions are different...

Im running with 8.3 wisecos, 264 Cams and stock rods. If I so chose to they would support 400 plus. Im just tired of breaking things. I would give you Dyno numbers and all that good stuff but I dont care. It does what I want, when I want, to who I want.

With my setup its a great daily driver and when I choose, a very effective rectal spreading tool.

If you already have it apart and don't want to spend the "extra" money, just get stock 1G rods and 2G pistons. You'll be set for a while.

you can get forged for like $100 more after you figure the cost of extra machine work

1g rods and 2g pistons come out to like $400 once the machine work is done. For $395+cost of getting a block bored .20 over you can get Ross Forged 8.5:1 .20 over pistons/rings/pins from www.slowboyracing.com Also, look in to my post from yesterday. You can make 400whp on a totally stock long block (head and short block) It is EASIER to do that with higher compression, and a port n polish on the head. I would also suggest removing the balance shafts, getting a new water pump, arp head studs, MLRS Head gasket, port n polished head, and ported evo3 exhaust/o2 manifolds.
