Rebuilding my short block at the moment.
I can buy a set of JE pistons hung on 1g rods w/ moly rings, arp bolts ready to go for $450 (used approx 5 k) Buddy is going stroker and just pulled these.
Will be making around 450 whp tops with this build. Do you all think JE pistons are overkill? I plan on daily driving this build, so the durability of the JE's is a plus.
On the other hand....
I've read up on the light weight evo 9 pistons and they are pretty impressive. I will be running e85 fuel also so the 9:1 comp with the evo 9 pistons will work out great.
My original plan before seeing this deal was to go with DSM graveyard evo9 piston/rod/ring combo. $575
Now I'm torn...
What would you all do?
