In the future I would like to build a better bottom end. I would like to use a 8# lower and a 2# upper. I will use better rods. Now my Q is do I need to change to better pistons? Can I still use the stock pistons? I heard of broken rods put not on pistons.

might as well, my pistons looked pretty good when I pulled them out, and after a long debate I decided to buy new ones. 20 over. it only gives you about 8 hp more if you do the math. but you might as well do it all. I'd sure hate for one to go out once I already changed the rods. as for the blower I decided to keep it 8 psi over and not go any further. it doesn't seem like it would give more, I really think its at the max. I'm either going the NOS way or save my money for a works 140. I'd sure hate to go the with NOS, I swore I'd never use it.
