So i plan on getting the Stage 2 kit from Hahn and I was wondering what precautions should be done. Should I get new pisons/rods or does the kit do fine without them already. Or should I get the stage 2 and upgrade to stage 3 later on(Stage 3 comes with pistons and rods doesnt it?)

My cars not slow im just fat..

search a lil... i would do a compression test b4 investing in the kit....

good luk

if u got the money get new rods and pistons eagles and weiscos would do fine 425+350

50$ in bearings 35$ in gaskets might as well do the timing belt and throw in anew oil pump so theres another 160$

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

I bought the kit and did the install myself - alot of time and patience but well worth it. Two months later and I am replacing pistons, rings ,etc. - broken land on #4 piston. I did not do the all important leakdown test prior to the install and yes I regret it $5000 later. But now I am confident the engine will stay together. Also I cant say enough about the staff at hrc - always there with a helpful idea or a solution.
