I need some sugestions. I am going to get the Rip SuperCharger System. But what do you think i should do to my engine internally first. I am already going to get new seals, and pistons, what else do you think i should do. Also questions on intercooler. Does anyone have one, if so i want a front mount, i need one to fit with my veilside front bumper. what size and where to get it?

i can't imagine that the pistons themselves would cause a problem, he probably just messed up installing them or didn't follow a break-in procedure.

from what i have read it's not a real good idea to push stock engines. i think it is a great idea to rebuild your engine in preperation for the supercharger.

the problem with forged pistons is that they expand over time. so, you have to make sure that the place that made them takes this into account. if they dont do it correctly then you will have problems later on.
