im looking into building my bottom end. What pistons should I get? Im currently running a star stage 2 with Greddy Front mount. I have 450cc injectors and a 255 fuel pump. Can I just get pistons or do I HAVE to get rods at the same time? what else do I need to get? Rings? thanks in advance Jim

boost pressure (psi) isnt nearly as important as fuel pressure. remember that. after you have a built bottom end you want to worry most about the fuel, and then the sky's the limit.

what will I have to run it safe at 8 psi with a stock bottom end? Fuel wise I have the 255 Fuel pump and gsx stock injectors...what else would I need? Thanks Jim
