guys, thinking of rebuilding my engine... am i gonna be able to run a 1'ce or twice off 11 with stock pistons. what boost will i be able to run safely? just want a quick street car that can prove it on the track if need be.

its more the fact that forged pistons hold up better when something goes wrong (and it often does) like a fuel pump dies, something goes thru ur motor etc etc

thats why you should upgade your fuel system, like pump n stuff, cleaners etc... then there is a less likelyhood of any dramas hey? thanks

get forged

thanks for the advice petros...lol by the way got my car back from chris, good job, except for he painted it the wrong colour...

painted in wrong colour LOL wtf?

Hahahaha... wat the **** ? u sure u got the right car car back.. haha Go forged, best do it once and once properly. Fuel system is just as important though, so dont skimp. Goodluck with the build brutha Ollie

i recon a fuel system is more important... i would do that first im running a NA Stock bottom end a 17-20 psi threw it every day.. and apparently this bottom hasnt bene touched for 5 years or so ive been told from the last owner whos my mate VL_MUZZA

well anyone got any ideas on the fuel system... what to upgrade, im running stck vlt setup except for cooler and pod, boosted to 13 psi

agree with lebjet fuel system more important. I would say either 036 or 363 with 044 fuel pump and surge tank would be good for most VL's

whats the go with a surge tank fellas?

vl 747 has run a best of 10.7 124mph standard pistons on 35 psi
