    302 - 306

    So when I had been going back and forth with the machine shop they said if they could get them in my price range they would get a set of forged pistons for me, other wise it was going to be hypers. Well I never remembered to ask the other day when I picked up the motor what pistons they got. The...

    Choosing an Intake???

    Wouldn't the F cam be a little over kill on my set up? I have had other people say that they thought the E might even be a little much for my car.

    I want to do a 331 or a 347 but as of right now that extra 500 would break the bank, I was figuring that this cheap 306 build would hold me over until I'm out of school. Once I'm done with school and dont have to worry about sending in a $10,000 check every semester I'm going to build up a nice...

    Alright, well boost is something that is a long long long ways away, for now it is only goin to be N/A. The octane note, I have run 93 in that since the day I bought the car so that doesn't bother me much. I think i'm goin to drop the heads off there and have them see how much they can safely...

    I spoke more with the machine shop today and asked about rasing my compression and they told me that I could bring in my heads and have them shaved down and I might see about 15 hp getting it to about 10:1. The only concern they had was piston to valve clearance issues. My heads are standard...

    I thought stock compression was 9.5:1? If not what is stock compression? While I have been going back and forth with the machine shop they told me that with the set up im I have it will be 9.5:1 and so I thought that is what stock was.

    need help with heads

    Is that something that started right after you installed the cam? My car did the exact same thing at one point. I changed the air temp sensor and the car ran great afterwards. The air temp sensor was all gumed up and shot. Gives you a place to start, pull it out and take a quick look at it....

    Would something small like 5 - 6 lbs of boost even be to much on the hypers and just destroy them? As far as emissions I don't have to go through them.

    302 - 306

    Alright thanks for the help yeah I didn’t think it would be any gains over the lost power of the tired motor. Next question I have is about pistons, how bad of an idea would it be for going to a hyper piston vs. a forged piston? I have a low budget because I’m still in college, so I was...
