Thanks Witzl, very helpful advice, i agree.
Yes this is what ive thought, the two golden paths.. to make a nice forced induction motor or a nice NA motor.. Ive been pondering it for ages and probably will for a long time til i can decide, but pretty much because im still a bit of an ameteur in the field of modifying (only been in the game a year or two) itd be good to hear some opinions on the aspects of the two setups and what it would cost parts-wise for mild and hotter builds of na and forced.
what sort of power figures would you think the NA 9.7 early-cam balanced efi motor would get? as apposed to the standard 8.3 rebuild with mild 4-6psi turbo/blower stock ecu etc..? Im all for a non-turbo motor because it in the end less hassle, and cops cant see huge domed-pistons and lumpy cams when they open the bonnet ..
How much are a set of the 9.7 pistons and early cams worth roughly?
Is there anything to be wary of buying second hand pistons? because you never know, mite find some in US or interstate or something and they could be destroyed.. Can pistons be machined or forged etc if they have imperfections? cos i expect they are fairly rare..
