All these guys say stock bottom end, but then they class putting head studs and a head gasket as stock bottom end... which i disagree...

Stock turbo bottom end or stock n/a bottom end? Pistons are made of the same stuff, just different compression. Ank, I don't reckon you will get any true answers cause 1/3 of them will be dog cunts a 1/3 have no fucking idea and just pay a workshop money and the other 1/3 will tell the truth. When money is involved and making themselves look good, the car could have a full built bottom end but to win the my **** is bigger than yours will say its stock.

Well thats it, there is always going to be some in the 1/3 that just don't care. They do it for themselves and not for looking good.

mkdjet's 10.4 on standard bottom end is legit.

Yeh I bet its legit aswell... Im sure there are heaps of stock bottom end quick times.. everyone knows the rb is tuff as, you dont even need to touch the head to go semi quick.. as long as you've got an lsd/spool and a decent box, only really need a cam, turbo, cooler, exhaust, fuel and boost... I rekon I could go to wreckers and buy 5 engines next week, and 3 out of the 5 would prob def run 10's in my car with my good tune in it...
