A few questions

Well my Hp range is 475 to 500. What pistons would you recomend? or should I get everything forged and call it good? How doess the cast Iron gear help? sorry for the dumb question. lol

As we go I am writting this stuff down.
I wont buy as I go, I will save up as much money as possible and buy in a bulk so I get everything at once so I def. want to work from the inside out.

If you go with a chain type set, go with a billet roller set.

Mancini racing has a set, so does JP performance out of australia.

as for pistons, choose the cylinder heads first, then we can dial the piston head design & compression in around that particular chamber design to utilize any features it may offer, of cose once you commit to the compression ratio you are also going to made to work/pick a cam within a limited range 'with the exception of head gasket tuning.

fwiw I ran a iron crank to 6800 and around 490-500hp with no issues, in fact on freshening it..the bearings and the rest looked brand new.
