So I want to build my 7a with a little higher compresson (11-12:1) for a slight power increase and a nice increase in efficientcy and 'peppiness.' Upon searching I found little to no information about where I can get a set of high CR pistons w/o having to mod the rods and whatnot. So does anyone know who, if anyone. caries a higher CR piston for the 7a? If not, where i can get a good set of customs from? This is on a spare 7a so no big deal if i have to wait/ship my stock pistons. And does anyone know about rod bolts? I know thats one of the 7a's weak spots so if ARP has any bolts to fit that'd be great, or if anyone knows of some stronger bolts... I like to beat my engines so it'll have to be strong enough to handle my habits.
shorthand: 1.) Where can i get higher CR pistons for the 7a? (11-12:1) 2.) How can I beef up my rods/rod bolts? 3.) Don't flame about my building choices, I went this way for a reason. -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
