As far as the rods go, I'm torn between the stock rods w/ARP bolts or some cheaper H-beams. I may be pushing the stockers to hard, as I'd like to get some longevity out of the engine. Pistons? No clue yet, suggestions. As far as pistons go I really like the Mahle ones I have now.. I ran Diamonds prior and they are also nice.. Here is a few pics of a Mahle I am running.. http://www.greenthunderracing.com/images/Piston%20a.jpg http://www.greenthunderracing.com/im...e%20Piston.jpg http://www.greenthunderracing.com/images/Piston.jpg |
Flipper; that's a nice looking blower piston. Mahle always impresses me with their products. How does it's weight compare to the stock unit?

if i thought i had any clue how to install heads/cam myself, i'd buy the same setup right now so we could see who makes more power, radix or whipple. i have bad luck with mechanics. always end up getting ripped off.

Are there any board members close by that could help out? |

I should be able to afford them for sure by then. Hmmm. Decisions decisions. I just cant seem to make up my mind what I want to do 6L heads and cam with nitrous or 5.3 with a blower :bang:

Well I just got off the phone with richard and it looks like I will be joining the club with a set of stage 2 heads. :) :drive: :devil: Now to just pick a cam. 228 with a 112lsa sound good for my truck with a 3000 stall and being able to shift out at 6500?
