Just dropped my pistons off at the engine shop today. Beautiful JE customs with all the tricks, titanium casidium coated wrist pins and Total Seal diamond finish ring set. Hell, the ring set alone cost more than most people spend on a full set of pistons. Just had the block punched for roller cam bearing.....sweeeeeeeeeet.

Does this mean you're playing "Street Warrior" in '06? Thought you were wrenching for another team, how'd that work out? Or it this motor a "shop thing"? What's the skinny here bud?
I found a new machine shop, he does everything but leans WAY towards the blue oval. I like the way he thinks, and he's telling me we can get quite a bit more ponies out of the same motor with PROPER machine work. After reading this thread, I have to agree. But like I said before, this one is already at zero deck, so I have to stick with it. It is getting punched .040" over, so she's on her last leg, but what a ride it's gonna be! I can't wait!
Andy, I posted this "question" on my own forums, just to see. And MOST, I'm talkin 98% of the guys agree with you! All for different reasons, mainly reliability. I'm with Jeff at this point. I like my zero deck, but you make a darn good argument my friend!
