Always check valve to piston clearance.

What exactly are you doing? A new cam, a rebuild or what? I see others talking about new pistons so I'm confused.

I'd use a set of Keith Black hypers before I'd use the heavy ass Speed Pro forged pistons.

overhaul, i want to freshen up the block and bore it .30, so i need new pistions anyways, my goals are a nice street strip car with as close to or more then 300 to the wheels (n/a)

so far i have a cai, gt 40 upper and lower, gt 40 heads, exhaust, alu flywheel and driveshaft, underdrives, and a 65mm tb

No, why not? My experience has been noticible throttle response and acceleration improvement. I have yet to see any negative effects of having an aluminum flywheel.

vfast · December 16th, 2008, 06:09 PM

never saw rpm drops betweens shifts? in street conditions...
