281 Internals?

281 Internals?
I've heard the pistons and rods are the weak points in the 281. So I was planning on replacing them with all forged internals and a new crank also. But the 04 GT, does it come with dish or flat pistons? I believe it has 9.4:1 compression? Correct? Wanting to supercharge and trying to get the compression under 9:1. Also, where is a good place to buy DOHC 4v heads and valve covers? Any information helpful.

I would just swap a complete 4v engine in but if you just want the heads and valve covers uberstang can def help you out.Matter of fact I know he has an almost complete cobra engine for sale.It just needs an intake I believe.

3 things: Make sure your installer know's what the he** he's doing. Make sure your tune is spot on. Most importanly no short cuts.. Speaking from a guy that has went through two engines in 10 months. Learned my lesson and am putting together a forged Short Block. GL my man!

Oh god no, 8:5:1 is about what you want for a built motor for boost, that give you the ability to run way more boost than you will be able to on a 10:1 build.

People say that...but provide no reasoning as to why. Your car will be a dog downlow at 8.5 or 9:1. I can count guys on all 15 hands of mine that run 9.5 to 1 and upwards of 10:1 with nice boost. I'm slightly above 9.5:1 and run 20psi with 93 octane and soon to be meth....
