Closest I'll get to owning a sonic blue terminator lol.

Do you already have a built short block?

I would recommend you send your engine to JDM engineering and have them install the parts. Either way, it'll be pricey. I paid around 18k for my engine with upgraded cams and all valve train components. If you don't want upgraded cams, that will save you a good amount.

You can do what I did and do the JDM engineering upgraded rods and pistons https://www.svtperformance.com/threads/built-engine-time.1196498/ https://www.teamjdm.com/2013-2014-gt500-5-8l-aluminum-shortblock-1200-hp-rebuild-kit/

I went 2015, 16 and 17. It was a blast.

I still wish it was back at Knotts. Oh well

I'd borescope that cylinder and see what's going on in there.

3.73s doesn't make the car work harder, if anything it makes it easier on everything. 3.08s would be a different story. What all do you have done to the car? What fuel are you using? Sounds like your tuner didn't know what he was doing if you "nuked a piston"

That's kinda how felt, it would be cheaper for me to drive to Vegas and pick it up in person

I came close, but i couldn't justify the 1,100 for one right now. Maybe next time lol.

Do you have both sets of keys? If one key is registered as a valet key it won't show certain things for track apps, does your launch control work?

About time, just hope they get the exhaust note right, hopefully it sounds like it has Borla Stingers lol

If the 99/01 cobras take a specific thermostat I would replace that as well while I'm in there with the correct one. I know the GT500s take a special thermostat and you'll have issues if you don't use the right one.

I'd love one, just not willing to pay the stupid prices people want for them

I obviously can't guarantee it'll fix it, but it's what I would start with
