What exactly is quench?
The same day I put 3/4 to 1 car on said 2001 TA. Its heavy. Two Amps, subs, SLP subframes. I hope you get it all worked out Vic. You've had more trouble than you deserve.

Second, I'm kinda out of money, so I wasn't wanting to pay to take the motor out and have the block reworked, again.
I figured that it would cost around $2500 to take the block out and replace the rods and pistons with what I wanted. I could probably sell the old ones for maybe $800 since they only have 1000 miles on them.
Or a friend of mine has a D1-SC procharger for sale for $2400 and he sold the intercoolers and piping to another guy, who is actually looking to get rid of it, for $800. The only problem is that I don't have any more money.
man, your combo is all fucked up.
recalculating SCR i get 9.1, DCR 7.1 and .079 quench.
as far as pistons, i'd get:
126-11500 Diamond Pistons LS1 Forged Flat Top Piston set w/ -2cc Valve Reliefs, 3.905" BORE / 3.622" Stroke / 6.098" Rods / 1.340" Comp Height / .945 x 2.500 Wrist Pins Included

No ****, get that quench down, and some different pistons. This exactly what happens when **** gets hodge podged together the whole combination goes to hell.
Read the quote by David Reher and Get your Pistons, gaskets, and heads to match. Then while you're at it, get the cam to match the whole combo.
"Without question, the most common mistake in racing is to buy parts impulsively without having a clear vision of where you want to end up. The result is often a pile of mismatched pieces that will never work together properly." - David Reher
