[QUOTE="7Lemons, post: 16519498, member: 184681"] Just a little update on this, I ended up buying a nice set of low miles (~18k) gen 2 heads and cams, timing components, arp stud kit etc from a guy in CA who worked with Shaun @ Aed on it (Shaun had built it for him for the guy's 14 GT). Also, Shaun is building me an AED1000 short block! I decided to go this route after talking with Shaun at length. I feel like it's worth a little extra $$ at this point to know for sure that it's all done right and with precision, and he seems unbelievably meticulous. He is incredibly knowledgeable and made a strong case for why the gen 2 factory rods/pistons are as good or better, for various reasons, than certain forged components. One of Shaun's quotes: "Custom builds for boost that use 2618 Forged pistons are generally NOT going to last that long due to the clearances needed as the expansion rate of 2618 aluminum is double that of the OE (Mahle) M142p aluminum."
