Oh i ran fine and knock free on a 3.4 on just headers, intake, and AL104's -- But i also had to run mid 10's for AFR.

I was thinking about it today, and I might just go ahead and be a super cheap bastard and replace ONE piston. If nothing else, just to see if it works. Pull one head off, take out #3, swap the old rings onto the new piston and put it back in. I can already hear the cries of "you might as well..." but I don't want to. It's pretty fancy for a FWD grocery getter, but a full bottom end swap? A rebuild? I know if I were to take this thing alll the way apart I'd find enough wrong with it that I'd be replacing parts or paying a machine shop for work or any number of things. Dont care enough, I'd rather sell it to the next guy. But if I can put in a 50 dollar piston and only have to buy a couple gaskets? I'm down.
