so im in iraq and have decided to turbo my ss sc with all this extra money coming in. i already decided on the hahn stage 5 kit and some other mods. my question is what is the best piston/rod combo to go with. jbp is way to freaking expensive so please dont say them. and if this thread has already been talked about then im sorry i dont have enough internet time to go searching for stuff.

 

i heared wiseco is pretty good, thats what i bought for my 2.2

 

just swap pistons, the stock rods are fine. if you want added strength have the motor cryoed.

 

croyed. thats a new one on me. can you explain this to me in detail. and im looking to put at least 400whp down so how far will the stock rods go.

 

the stock rods will be fine for 400, cryogenic processing is when they freeze your parts to-300degrees farenheight(sp) and then raise them back up to retemper them. the whole process takes about 36 hours. it is supposed to add a considerable amount more strength to the parts.

 

oh i see. and this is suppose to make them like way stronger. well im looking at 600 for the install and 350 for the tune with unlimited tunes if i decide to upgrade it later. sounds like a deal to me. well how much does it cost to have this done and whats a company that does it. what parts other than rods might i want to have this done to.
