Piston upgrade

[steermaster]

I am currently running about 9 PSI SC and many tell me my rings will go the fastest...sooooo this brings me to my next mission. What is the best rebuild to do to hold the most boost? Just short of pulling the entire engine and stroking it i would like to be simple and rebuilt from the bottom of possible.

My build was through Inertia and I ended up with forged Molnar connecting rods and CP-Carillo bullet pistons. Without pulling the engine you'll still be stuck with the 5.7L's cast crankshaft.

Just stroke it, you know you want to....

If you wanna build for long term boost, that includes crank, rods, and pistons.

You're getting greedy

You haven't even tuned the SC yet and you want a new motor!

Bahahaaa!

Sorry bud! Had to blow up your spot!

If you're not going to go much higher in boost I would look at a set of crop-in pistons from Modern Muscle, it's the least expensive way to go and the rods and crank will hold that kind of boost no problem as long as you're using a set of forged pistons and properly gapped rings.
