what kind of pistons are you running?


mm&ff says you can run stock pistons w/ TF kit, summit says stock wont clear[sm=wtf.gif]
Don't ask about Pistons That is the one thing that I wish I had a little extra money for...

I am going on top of my stock block...I figure if the bottom cannot handle a new top...then I will buy a new bottom.

The guy at Summit said it the best...I asked if he thinks if I should do the block as well as the heads and he said. "that is a conversation that you and your wallet needs to have"

Unfortunately, my wallet...and my wife said NO!!

But everything else I got still keeps me with a smile...at least for now

What heads/cam/intake are going on?

BBK 75mm EGR

BBK CAI

Ignition:
MSD 6al
MSD Coil

MSD Cap/rotor

Exhaust:
BBK Ceramic unequal Shorty's
UPR X-Pipe w/cats

Why did you get a 70mm throttle body but a 75mm EGR spacer???? I also didn't see a MAF on there that matches the 24 lb injectors.

The opening on the Intake Manifold is 75mm. They recommend matching the EGR to the Manifold as opposed to the TB. I thought about just going 75 all the way...but they say you lose some low end with a N/A setup...
