What can I do with these parts and how much power will it make? TRickflow Heads fully ported with 2.05 intake valves.

SLP 1 3/4in Headers

Miniram 1205 with 58mm throttle body and 30lbs injectors

TPIS ZZX Cam, Scat 3.75 stroker crank 9000 series, Scat 6in Connecting rods

Need pistons. Any advice on some good ones?

ASE Doc has made huge power with the ZZX cam. I'll be following this.

Re: New build here
I will be following along. Plenty of good piston manufacturers. Buy one that puts your pistons close to the top of the bore and are light. Also try for 1.5mm, 1.5mm, 3mm rings to cut down on friction.

Call Bryce. He can get you a set of the new Bullet pistons with the 1mm ring package. VERY trick pieces. He has a set we are going to use for a 427 build if you want to take a look at them.

Diamond pistons! Used to sell them few years ago and they were always great to do business with. They have a great off the shelf to fit many applications or can do the customs. Good luck!

Re: New build here
Yea I talk to Bryson today. He has those pistons and he's going to take care of me after the New Year. He's going to assemble the short block. So with any luck, plenty of overtime and a small hit of the lotto, I'll have it back in February. Or until I pay the installments off. For now I'm putting the stock engine back in. It's a stock factory rated 245hp L98. It will be behind the T5 with 3.73 gears and headers. Well at least it a mid 13sec car.

Re: New build here
That is good that Bryson is going to take care of you. Sounds like a good plan and a nice set of pistons.
Edit: One more thing. If you have not already you might want him to take a look at your Mini-Ram and make sure the ports in it are close in size to the ones in your heads.
