Are you gonna buy billet rods?

Standard forged pistons are good enough.

Depends? What are your build intentions?

Depends? What are your build intentions?

Unless your 18.1+ compression boosted or not, it would be a waste.

D3v hows the 5.4 tubro swap goin

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

Absolutely horrid the machine shop I used did some funky stuff to my block and didn't label which pistons he used in the balance.... so I took it to someone else

 

[96blak54]

That sux ^^
What are you building anyhow?

 

[philly101]

Dang thats sucks wha shop did you use

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

A local shop that was close but had little modular experience.

Well I have a 5.4 with JLP rotating assembly and JLP heads and cams and a Hps intake..... planning on a modified on3 kit.... hopefully next summer it will be ready to start installing safety gear. Goal is the 200mph club.. ... I just need to gtfo of Washington state hahahaha 3 months of sunshine is not enough!

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

I promise I'll have a build thread soon...... also doing a 3v swap on the 98 but its not my priority....

 

[96blak54]

Wait...did I sell you that hps intake? If so....sell it back

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

Lol no I got it from Hps.

He was just about to pop out another batch and like 5 people backed out. So it will be awhile if you really really really want one hahaha.

 

[96blak54]

Not a $700+ "want". They can keep'em

 

[D3VST8R96GT]

I couldn't decide on the HPS intake or running a lightning lower and intercooler with a custom hat, I didnt want to deal with the intercooler pump issues at high boost air to air is safer. I mean there are a lot of factors and I just wanted to keep it simple, cost low and less things to break of **** with
