High Performance Pistons&Rods

04S/CStallion · 05-02-2004, 11:49 AM

I was needing some opinions on what kind of pistons to get. I am planning on running a 15lb pulley on a 04 GT, and I know I am going to need better pistons and Rods. I was thinking of JE and TRW I dont really have a web site to go and look at either one of them, so whatever yall come up with I would appreciate and look into. Oh the kind of piston i was looking at, were Forged pistons, and shotpeened rods.

I would go with Manley rods, and CP pistons seems to be one of the top choices right now for forced induction. You might want to drop the compression down to 8.5:1 so you can run pump gas on that boost. And if you're doing the bottom end, you might as well throw a forged Cobra crank in there too.

Do you know websites or where I can check those out at.
And thank you for the input.

Modular performance
I don't think they have pics or anything, not like that matters, but I do remember them having detailed specs on the parts.
