cheapest forged rod/piston combo for 5.3? i posted this on yb too, hope'n someone here can give me some idea on it.
i finally getn some $$$ money free'd up and im wanting to tear down my fresh 5.3 lm7 and bore it/oring block/ and put forged rods and pistons in it capable of carry'n me to 1000hp at some point. any suggestions on what rods and pistons are the cheapest to get r done? its a single 1.1ar s480 blowthru deal.
what im lookin for is decent forged pistons that'll handle a good tuneup with ease, dont have to be high $$$ pistons to do what i wanna do. on the rods i dont wana spend more than i have to either to get r done. i appreciate any suggestions fellas.i was gna try and make 800hp at the crank with stock pistons and rods but ill sure feel better with forged rods/pistons and layin say 20-22lbs to it.
i know cheapest aint the best route, but look at it this way, its better than the stock stuff i was gna try and make 800+ with
so jus lookin for the cheapest route for forged rods/pistons, ill have the block oringed/bored, rotating assembly balanced and hope to be in it less than say 1200-1300bucks
