You may want to look into a different heads if you are SC'in your car. The P's will give you around 9.5:1 compression ratio, might be risky to run a SC with those heads.....

But the headers are cheap, i got my P headers for 180 shipped, brandnew mac off ebay.

Explorer GT-40 heads would be best, because they are a bolt on 8.8:1 compression head

How many pounds of boost are safe to run on the hypereutectic pistons in the SNs and 93s?

I don't know if I'd say they are best. Plenty of turbo guys run P heads. You just need to be certain you have good clean, and true deck surfaces, with some really good gaskets, taking all pre-cautions, motor oil or gasket dressing on MLS gaskets and rtv on the bolts with proper torque, etc. etc.

bad tune could kill it all anyway though.


and I don't think i've ever tried to use the quote feature like that...I was just guessing, how do you do it?

it all goes back to the tune.

stock internals will usually last longer than stock blocks.

In response to adders comment about "blowing it up", I understand of course a tuner like Tweecer would obviously be the safest choice but for some reason I get the feeling that Vortech wouldn't sell too many kits for the 94-95 GT if it blew up every car that it was installed on. It will probably run pretty rich with the BTM and the rising rate FPR but then again im used to boosted 4 cyl's with pressure sensors not boosted v8's with flow sensors so maybe im wrong.

You don't need a Tweecer, just gotta take it somewhere and get it dyno tuned. The Vortech doesn't blow most cars up because most cars get a tune immediately afterwards. Your air to fuel ratio is gonna be all sorts of screwed up, among other things. Listen to him, bad things will happen
