haha, oh gotcha..did u find out if it definately would fit?

 

nope but i will try sometime and thanks for the comment

 

motor has arrived. gonna start tearing it apart next week

 

LOL

Get that motor torn down already! You'll be tearing up the streets in no time.

 

So where did you end up finding the Pistons and rods? The guy I was buying the "Pistons" from listed them as pistons... For over a week we were talking about the pistons... Then when I got there, 2 hours away to pick them up, they were rods... So I still need to find myself a set of forged pistons.

I have heard that the valves are notall that strong either, what are you doing to prevent those from failing at high boost? Or have I missunderstood ??

 

I know speed corps has pistons. They are made by wiseco I believe. I haven't heard anything about the valves breaking though. You would just need to upgrade the valve springs if using an aftermarket cam. And by aftermarket, I mean RPW, not RRM's pos cam.

 

+1

I haven't heard a thing about valve issues in the 4G9x head with boost.

 

well i am using rpws cam and my dad is making me new valve springs. i got the pistons from speedcorps, they are weisco. rods next

 

Better order your rods soon. And tear down that motor already! I need to port and polish that head and intake.

 

u need to port it? i got someone doing it already : / where about in jersey are ya and i was gonna rip the motor apart today but i didnt have the engine hoist on hand : (

 

It's me, John. lol Now stop making excuses and get that thing apart already!

 

john what the hell haha, i guess u are doing it then lol, sending money for the rods right noww

 

Im sorry that i havent read this entire thread, but if you are still running a 16g and want to make 350whp on a g94 block, its going to take a good amount of boost. Depending on mods, i would say in the 25psi range min which is going to take pump + meth or race gas to reach. If you remember back to omarboy, his 50trim (which is bigger than a 16g) did 300whp at around 20psi with a ported head and cam setup. Hope you plan on spending a good deal of money and have something more than 440cc injectors to get you there. 850cc and corn fuel would be a easier way of making the power if you have access to e85

 

Roberts made 340 to the wheels at what, 22lbs I believe? And this was with the pos RRM cam. 350 is a decent goal. We plan on taking Roberts to 400+ here very soon. (on pump)

 

Does he plan on spending another $24,000 to reach that 400+ (I'm sorry, but it had to be said)
