Forged internals
Ok so i just bit the bullett and got talked into getting a forged short block[:@][:@][:@] Flat top forged pistons. It's like 11.5:1 compression. Forged rods. Balanced crank.. . . . . . . . Can you say[sm=nxsmile.gif] ???
Maybe when i get some extra cash after i one day pay all this off i can get a 150 kit or something. . . .
Im coming for you Zach [sm=devilgrin.gif] lol

RE: Forged internals
You figure out who your getting it through? VT? MMR? going through a race shop around you?
Sucks that your kinda going into debt over your car... but its for a good cause... [8D]
Edit - I know you already have heads, but do you have cams? are you going to purchase new cams along with the shortblock? just curious.

RE: Forged internals
The car was running like major sh*t for a day. So they had to tear it apart to find the problem[:@][:@][:@] and guess what they found. My pistons are all worn out and my block is still a little jacked up so . . . . . I gotta go for it all now[:@][:@][:@] Talk about mixed emotions

RE: Forged internals
Plan on running race gas at 11.5:1. You are also going to wear out your accessories (water pump, a/c, power steering pump) quicker because of the high compression. But hey, whatever makes it fast.Posttrack times, pics and info reguarding the swap process.
