if you're running an afc and injectors, no need to get pistons, they wont save the **** poor tuning of the afc from blowing up your motor. Run the stock internals till the bastard blows to high heaven. Then spend your money on pistons, rods and a real fuel system.

A zip SMC and a used MSD 6BTM. Total should be under $400.

You get fuel recurve and timing retard. Two helpful tuning methods.

i dont really want to go obd1. I think im just gonna run the afc with dsm 450s and the MSD BTM. That should easily be able to contol everything at only 7psi right?

If you cut corners you pay the penalty! I would suggest waiting untill the time is right.
