what exactly do I need to do to my motor to make it handle 12-15 lbs of boost from a d1sc? I am going to be rebuilding my motor soon and want to know what can stay and what def. needs to go.

You will need to get new pistons and rods. Might want to look into arp main and head studs and some billet oil pump gears.

Sorry I don't have any pics of the car. Right now the car is currently down at my work waiting for the new 6 speed to go in. I live in longwood so some time near the end of the month when I get it back on the road you can check it out in person if you want.

hey thanks for the link! I was looking on their web site and they sell diff types of kits. Fully balanced and not. how esswntial is the balancing of your pistons and rods? Would it matter that much for 500-600 hp?
