Re: Pistons.
The machine shop recommends Keith Black Hypereutectic Pistons, the parts guy says to me "errrrrrr wrong, that's your 1st mistake.... you have to go with forged ones" He says with any detonation the KB's will explode. Do I need forged sluggs with my combo ? (360, resized rods, Eddy magnum heads, doug's headers, etc...) I think I can fit them into my budget... but do I need them? Or is the parts guy just being a convincing sales man? He also mentioned that I'm wasting my money resizing the stock rods and replacing the bolts, that I could've bought new rods for only a little extra $$$. Are the stock rods really all that bad???
Any thoughts would be appreciated. THX:cheers:
