[QUOTE="OLD H2S, post: 1438520, member: 20979"] FI? Fi for what? Drag? Street? Autocross? Roadrace? Car show? You have to define the goal first, how much power do you need to do it? Pistons are like asking what do you want for dinner. Stock? overbore? compression ratio? cast? forged? full skirt? weight? coated tops? coated sides? valve releifes cut in..... the list is as long as the many companyies that make them. Speed cost money how fast do you want to go? Your idea is nebulus, put it on paper, then figure what level of reliablity you can live with, how much maintanance you want to do. Are you going to tear it down every 1/4 mile like John Force or take it to Jiffy Lube... don't laugh these are direct oppitsits on a piece of paper and you need to figure out where you want to be on that line. Are you going to do the assembly, do you have the tools, the CLEAN space, THE TIME??? The fastest cheapest end is to throw a centrifical blower on it and stay under 450 RWHP and be done, really, everything else costs more. As soon as you say new camsoilpumpheadsARPpistonsrods you are down the the rabbit hole and we will be here to see you to the other side...bring Bandaids. DO NOT DO ANYTHING I DID. [/QUOTE]
