"hyperpathetic" pistons are fine as long as you dont plan on running 15psi on the motor. They are really not that big of a deal if its just a street car.

If you try running a 150 shot or 15psi on hyper pistons you will have problems. You can safely run 10-12 psi on hyper"pathetic" pistons. They are fine for a street car.

Well, what Im sayin is if you have enough cash to throw around that your running 15psi on the street than you can afford forged pistons lol

RE: want a fox body

When I was looking for a 5.0, I was only looking at the '91-'93 5.0's. I like those years best because of the pony wheels and I like the steering wheel better then the '87-'89 steering wheel.
