First, I am only posting this for info. It is when MAC used the term "piston head" a couple pages back. I myself would just say "dished" "flat top" or "domed" piston. So, I thought let me look it up & just see. I have an ASE certified Modern Automotive Technology text book. The correct terminology for the top of the piston is actually the "head". It still did sound weird, & I won't go around asking what kind of "piston heads" people have, even knowing it is a correct term. I'm glad I kept this book!

The "head" of the piston (terminology per your book) is not removable from the rest of the piston (skirt), thus rendering it unnecessary to say "piston head".

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. There are too many questions with no answers in this incident. More than questions! Why did they classify this shooting when they did not classify the Columbine shooting. What about the several pages on Facebook that were made for the families of the victims 1-3 days before the shooting apparently occurred. I'm not going to sit here & write it all down. Again, before you believe what you are told from the media or internet, just maybe do a lil research. Try to observe at all angles, ask questions(especially with so many open loops & they won't answer questions asked with legitimate answers)! Here is a question, do you really think the twin towers fell "demolition" style to the ground from those jet liners hitting between the 78-98 floors of the buildings? Everyone believed at first, then people start to come up with questions, and the pieces just don't fit. They probably wan't people to think like that "a lot of the supporters of the conspiracy theory are the same type of weirdos that carry ak's into supermarkets". Just try to keep an open mind, if you don't understand something or it doesn't seem right, ask questions. http://www.sandyhookjustice.com/about-us.html

The conspiracy theories give way too much credit to a government that struggles to operate on a basic level. That in itself is proof enough to me.

No, I don't think so man. From reading through posts, there are people I respect, & people I feel act almost child like sometimes. I mean you don't know who I am or anything I have done or been through. My first job as an auto tech, year 2000 at GM dealership to just recently the machining field, laser/water jet operator. Easy on me, I apologize for that post, I jump on here for fun/car **** not that.

Nice run^^!!!

I'm trying to decide if I want to stay n/a- forged 370/402 with a 100-150 shot of n20 down the road.. OR Forged 347 and turbo??

Will an ls6 intake breath well enough for a 370 or 402 for awhile?

2 votes for turbo! Who else? I just figured it would be so much easier to put a built motor and trans in and be done, but I could make much more power with a turbo! Hmmmmmmmmmm very hard decision!
