Ditch the SRP's man if you can, CP's or Wiseco. Never cared for srp. Eagle rods are good but dont push it.

whats the difference gsr or a gsr with b16 head? you'll have same torque and hp. I would go gsr with b16 head and ls

or screw the hassle and just get the motor freshened up and give it 8-10lbs of boost. DONT FORGET A PROPER TUNE

or you can sleeve the block, put some low comp. pistons, a good head job and you can give that thing a good 20lbs boost


btw there is so much info on HT about this so do some research

ok sounds good. i bought the whole shortblock gsr for 150 so i imagine i could use some better pistons never been a fan or srp either. Yes the block is already got sleeves in it and lower comp pistons so we will see what the machine shop says thanks all for the good advice

If you bought a swapped car then I def recommend a rebuild. I can almost guarantee the previous owner smashed on that car like there is no tomorrow.

increase the engine's structural stability and pumping efficiency.. then increase the boost.

really? what kind question is this? what are you even asking?

my real advice, do some homework and research what's already out there.. you'll find your answer to whatever you need or you'll blow it up. one or the other.
