Below are a list of current mods except the nitrous which i will be switching to either wet or direct port. I will be boosting by the end of this month so I'm building my motor (also, my compression test wasn't that good ). I plan on boosting no more than 12 or 15 pounds, most likley 7-9 for daily driven.

I was thinking shot peening the rods since ther good for up to 400hp, or maybe stroking to 2.0 with the crower kit. Using ROSS PISTONS since I've heard by alot of racers that JE PISTONS aren't good for forced induction and that they melt, Arias pistons are good except they are pretty noisy for street use (stock compression btw). For the head I was gonna just match port the intake and exaust side. sound like a good idea ????

 

Ok, first off, what motor is this?

Second of all, if you plan on boosting 15psi, do you really want to trust the factory rods to handle that type of power? Invest in some good rods (crower, eagle, etc...)

Third, porting & polishing is good, just make sure you have someone reliable do it.

And lastly, Weisco pistons are my choice for FI apps.

 

yes, what b18c ej1 said. if you're going to spend that type of money to tear down the engine anyways, you might as well do it right the first time by investing a little more for stronger billet steel or titanium rods.

i've also heard stories about JE pistons melting with FI. i have actually seen the difference between the Ross pistons and JE pistons after a few races. there was major scoring on the JE pistons while there were some scoring on the Ross pistons but, it wasn't as severe as the ones on the JE's.
