OT but your car sounds badass, got any pics or vids? Also, is the Bassani Racing Aftercat different than the Street Comp. one?

Why would you have to cut your pistons? I've never heard of peopel doing tha tbefore, but why would you?

I will be ordering VT Stage 2s in the winter I believe =) Can't wait.

because too large of a cam or to flat of a piston will cause PTV. you can avoid the contact by having your pistons cut if either one is the case
