    just curious, then why invest in manley rods and mmr pistons and stuff? considering youre going with mild cams and cr and stuff.

    Just in case.. :jester:

    Im not very familiar with turbo set ups and stuff so I havent looked very deep into it. I know that these things love turbos though and they can make some serious power with them. So in the future if I ever want to, I can. Plus I feel more comfortable knowing ive got high quality parts inside.

    Yea you'd probably want to change pistons if you did, I'm assuming your cr will be somewhere around 10.5:1 right? A little on the high side for boost.

    ****. This would happen 2 days after I drop it off at the machine shop..

    It might be worth returning the pistons and swapping them for another set if i can win the bidding on this thing and get it for cheap.
    What are your thoughts on it besides needing to change pistons? Being its a used supercharger and he doesnt know if its all there or not, he just bought it as is. If I needed more parts do you think I could find them pretty easily.

    All I can keep thinking is terminator truck! Haha
