I am thinking of doing something similar!
But i was told all we really need to replace is our rods? and it should be good

sounds like my build kinda have fun.

Fonzi1289

hey 06 ion why did u go with the 8.9:1 Pistons?

06_ion2

So i can run pump and if i change setups in the future I have nothing to worry about and i can throw anything i want at it.

Fonzi1289

Oh tue i get u.. Maybe i should go that route

06_ion2

You dont really have to its not a bad idea to go with 10:1 though. the 8.9:1 i got could eaisly keep me from making my 400whp goal though, but well see.

Fonzi1289

Ha.. well either way the first i am replacing is the rods.. was told by smart forum members that is the first cause they r the first to go

The top ringlans are very small on the stock pistons ANY detonation will crack them.

Fonzi1289

Thanks for the info.. will make sure to remember that

rod and pistons should be replaced together, i mean u got it apart, might aswell get it done, rods rated at 250, pistons at 300...

Fonzi1289

Should the valves, springs etc be replaced as well or u dont have to

pykie

8.9:1 is what i got aswell.
lower compression is what you want for boosted applications.
