How Much Horse Power

[1990_LX]

I wish I could afford the motor you have, but it it worth the upgrade to Hyper whatever you call ums while it's on the stand?

IMO, if you have to take them apart, use the ones from a 87-92...but if all your gonna use is a HO cam, dont bother changing at all

My Uncle said I should get forged but not only are they way out of budget but I was always under the impression that they were more suited for extreme N/A power, and/or a big shot of nitrous or s fair amount of boost...? Woulr hypereutectics handle a small amount of nitrous?

50 to 75 hp shot wouldnt hurt...

I'd like to use a bigger cam, especially if I port the heads...

Then you will need to get pistons with valve reliefs in them.

So would it be better to find some used forged pistons out of a 87-92 or buy new hypers?
