Re: internal upgrades..

Depends on how many lbs of boost your running and how far you want to go with your build. You'll just need valvesprings beyond, what is it, 8psi? And also get arp headstuds so you dont get any headlift.

ARP headstuds for a bitch boost setup.

Internals (rods and pistons, new OEM bearings) and kpro for a built setup.

Re: internal upgrades..

yeah i've been looking around.. it's just that wherever you look it seems like this one person knows what theyre talking about then everyone says no wrong. but i knew about piston and cams already any suggestions? and im not running a turbo yet, i havent decided on turbo or not yet. i just replaced the engine so i have basically a brand new engine.. only 20k on it

Re: internal upgrades..

Then this thread doesn't make any sense. In your first post you asked about what internals you in order to go turbo and you go that, yet you said you already knew about rods and pistons. Now you also say you're not sure if you're going to turbo or not? Waste of time.
