No problem! Just to clarify, stock pistons are good for silly power, rods are a bit iffy over 300 but plenty have ran more than that with careful boost control.

Looks like I'm going for a 2.5 bottom end now,won't waste my money on Pistons but will have the stronger rods.

Liner issues with the 2.5 unless you plan to shim the block or go down the closed deck route, sorry!

Haha yeah I've been doing a bit of digging around and it's just going to Tim Williams,I'm sure he will be more than able to sort it all out.
Was like trying to get hold of Lord Lucan but got hold of him now.
