Ok well did a compression test 115 in cylinders 1,2,3, number 4 cylinder had a whole 70 lbs im guessing piston rings.This car has 190k miles was completely stock when i bought it they said it was rebuilt about 6 months before i bought it I doubt it.

My goal is 450-500 awhp would u suggest wiesco/eagle combo or go stock rods and evo forged pistons??
 
Most likely the po babies it after the rebuold and didn't allow the rings to seat properly. Our internals are deff good for 400 hp. But anything after that go aftermarket. Wiseco is good choice
 
Yea it was a young dude!
So if I do end up doing a stock rebuild would arp rod bolts give me more security as far as throwing a rod bearing?
