    Piston question

    I'm in the process of building up a 2001 2v motor and am wondering what all it would take to put flat top pistons in, I assume the pistons and rings, but would they work with the factory connecting rods? Would they bolt right up or would i need to get the engine balanced. Thanks

    Anybody have a Gtech?

    I've found that when its calibrated correctly it can be very accurate only .01-.09 off on my 1/4 mile times and the mph is pretty much right on, but occasionaly it just screws up and gives me a 10 sec 1/4 mile run.

    Question about roll bars

    In the NHRA rulebook it says any convertible running 13.99 or quicker needs to have a roll bar. A 99-2004 gt with mild bolt-ons or a stock 05 gt could run that and I see them running from time to time at the local drag strip. So at what point do they require you to put the roll bar in?
