    Ya, i got tired of belt slip issues and wanted more power. and to be honest i dont think its much harder to work on than my vortech setup. The car made 120hp/170tq more on less boost and on pump gas vs race gas, shows how much more efficient the setup is over the vortech i had. The pistons...

    Eh, they were from my old motor, they get the job done and i dont feel like buying cams rite now. The car spools just fine. i couldnt hit the gears quick enough. its a billet wheel, with a smaller hotside.

    I think they are very nice pieces, im sure they helped get to that power number. mine are unported, porting cant hurt. i just was going from a stock pi head to these, that in itself was an upgrade. i got them with trick flows upgraded 125lb springs. the added spark plug threads are also great...

    clayed one piston and threw a head on and 1 chain, everything seemed to clear, no marks and we put enough clay to come up past the valve reliefs. I didnt use a checker spring but this gives me an idea, i have tons of clearance .I dont know why they put such deep reliefs in the pistons. also took...

    here are the pics, every piston is damaged in the same valve relief locations, 2 of them are cracked. I have a feeling its a faulty design, every valve relief has very little material, and all are broke the same. But i still am not sure on the cause. I also see no valve contact marks...

    I might go with lid, I hat stenod and the boys tune it last year and I trusted them and was very happy. But I don't think they can get to it this year. I was thinking lid, php, or kurgan, but kurgan is a trip for me
