well its been a loong time since i have posted a question on here, and now that i am nearing build time, after a loon waited 7 years in the waiting, i am finally down to piston choice for my all forged 355, before i post the link to the pistons i have in mind here are the specs in the bottomend.


eagle 4340 forged crank
eagle 4340 forged h beams
afr 195 eliminator 1038 heads ... the 75cc ones

comp xfi 292 cam, i am thinking of switching to the xr294hr-10 cam though with the 110 lsa instead

comp pro magnum roller rockers, 1.52 ratios
trickflow 1 pc pushrods 7.300
gm roller lifters
comp spider reatiners etc
cloyes true roller timing chain, 3 way adjustable type
stealthram ported to match the 1205 ports
bbk 58mm tb
30lb ford red top injectors
90-92 sd harness

now i am back and forth on compression, i want to add a turbo or procharger in the future, but at the same time i want to keep compression at least 9.0:1, just run lower boost.

the car is just going to be a cruise weekend machine only, maybe a 2 time trip to the strip a year only, i have all the bolt ons to this thing , from a ford 9" with 4.56 gears, engine will be a t56 6 speed behind it, all suspensions etc...

i am looking for a 6500 shift point, and a solid 11 sec time slip, so that boost in the future will put me in the 10's, what pistons would you choose?

heres the link to the ones i am looking at, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/KEITH...Q5fAccessories
500 bucks max is my budget for pistons, so let me know what ya think..

thanks alot!

adam
