Default Just wanna make sure of the lq4 and lq9 differences
So as far as i've read the only difference in the lq4 and lq9 is the piston/rods, and cam right? Or is there more differences?

I believe the rods and cam are the same but I am not 100% certain.

i believe the lq4 has the dished pistons where the lq9 had the flat tops. i think thats the only difference. but i heard from somewhere the lq9 had better rods?? im unsure about that
