Keep it N/A. I wonder about those pistons though. Wonder if anybody has a shot of the top of a pre-1993 hypereutectic piston? Yours looked like they had a small dish in them. Perhaps the previous owner can shed more light into this question.

You'll be happy to hear that I just made a deal for some N/A headers for it. Now I need to find some smaller injectors to put in place of the 42's. I'll give you a call later.

The car will now be for sale once it's all back together and headed for ebay in the Spring if it doesn't sell locally.

BTW, I have a set of the stock pistons that I looked at and they are almost the same. I just can't remember what year the other pistons I have are out of. I think they were from an 88 or 89.

No Idea. I may just blow all the money on parts for the Orange car or buy some guns. That Barrett .50 cal is looking tempting.

Hey Joe, after another home remodel project and the little one being born, this heap is finally back together and running again. Couldn't resist putting another turbo on it though.

Took it to Rodeheaver's and had a custom Y-pipe made going from the 3-1/2" downpipe to the Dynomax catback. Thank fo rthe GREAT job Tim!!!

Heading out to have it tuned on the 14th by Don Lasota. Look for it on a street in Motown soon!

Well, the wastgate has a 9 psi spring in it so we'll see. The manual boost controller will allow an additional 4-5 psi of boost to be dialed accurately in if needed.

I was going to go to SGS for the tune, but they said they no longer tune on the weekend, so I was like WTF? I'm not taking a day off work to go get the thing tuned.
