Factory pistons... what about the rest of the assembly? I ask, because if you're using stock rotating assembly, I would'nt even bother. You'll be in there again before you know it..lol

Thank you for the info.
The rest of the rotating assembly will be stock too, I'm doing this just to get the car running, if it only lasts me a few months I'll be happy as long as I can get some seat time

That's what I don't understand. I've seen a few people now mention that a 5.3 should be sprayed no more than 200hp on stock internals...yet you read all day long about these "junkyard 5.3 1000hp turbo" builds...I don't get it?
Its all in the tune. We have customers hitting 5.3's with 400+. Will it last? I don't know. Has it been done? Sure. As far as what is safe for us to recommend, 200 is about it. Like I said it takes a spot on tune up to make it work.

Off topic. I remember reading somewhere your car is Ford Redfire Metallic, do you know what color primer they used? Grey, red? It looks great!
