i am looking into the MS4 and a set of 2.5 stage heads from TSP. Also looking into get new pistons what would be a good set of pistons so I dont need to fly cut.

with a properly mated head you shouldn't need to flycut at all.

I have been looking and everyone is saying that if I go with the 2.5 ls6 heads from TSP and the MS4 I will need to fly cut the pistons. but I wanted to know what pistons I could get instead of fly cutting and what size dish would be best.Thanks

Sorry I thought you said MS3 ya for the MS4 you will probably need to. Dish is correlative to what your plans are, with such a nasty cam you are probably going N/A. So around - 2.00cc Flat tops or something like that I think. Pistons are still kinda a new knowledge thing for me.

Thanks for the help man. I am just looking into a few different things not sure what I can do depends on the money. Was thinking MS4 with heads and pistons...then some NOS just for fun but also thought about saving some money to do a forged 347 with a d1 procharger.
