those usdm coated cast pistons will handle the amount of nitrous i'm going to spray fine, it's going to be a fresh motor when i'm done this time. not that i need to justify myself "again" since people can't seem to comprehend the concept, but the motor still had 190lbs of compression on the cylinder with blowby, that's still a lot of compression. ever heard if it ain't broke don't fix it? well the car ran good anyways and i prob. wouldn't have pulled it back apart if it didn't blow there was just no point. I bet the majority of the boosted cars you see do not have aftermarket valve trains, do you see anything wrong with my pistons? no. they look fine. even after spraying the nitrous.
go do a compression test on your ford focus, i bet my low cylinder was higher than your highest cylinder.
let's put it this way, theres a guy that brings a 300=500hp hatch with type r tranny and slicks just about every tuesday. his motor has forged internals, block guard, type r tranny and i dunno what else. i'm not sure of his fastest time, but he runs anywhere between a 7.9 to a 10 or 11 in the 1/8 because he can't get traction. he's also got a skunk2 pro 2 valvetrain and msd ignition.
my car on slicks i want to be in the low 8s in the 1/8 possibly high 7s. consistantly and i believe it's possible with this setup. will it? i have no idea but it should.
if this isn't clear enough for you or if you don't agree with it, just stop posting in my thread, i'm tired of arguing with you because you don't agree with what i am doing. people boost stock gsr's all the time with 10psi. the ls rotating assembly is actually stronger than the gsr rotating assembly. therefor it should hold more power and i'm not trying to make a lot of power, just enough to have a quick fun daily driver. my cars going to have ac on it when i get it back together, eventually.
just because most of you educate yourselves from reading what everyone else does, doesn't mean that's the only way to do it. this is a budget build that will work really good together when i get it all sorted out.
"edit" no it's not back together yet, the heads in alabama. i might have some port work done to it before i put it back on.
