Apparently UPS has lost my rods/pistons and they've been giving me and Mark the run-around about them. I'm pretty pissed off about that, but hopefully Mark is overnighting me a new set of rods/pistons today.

After the whole UPS screwup Mark overnighted me another set of rod/pistons. My cousin and I assembled everything and fired it off in 7hrs. The car runs smooth. My battery died on my camera but I did manage to get some pictures. Thanks to Mark, Bean, Pauly and the guys at Turbotrix for all the help with this project. They helped make this an easy build for me. I don't see why more people don't throw in a set of rod/pistons. It also helped that I was at the shop for two wks watching them build motors. Thanks also to JC(the cheap bastard), Brothers Racing, and SnR Performance for helping me out with parts and tools.
Turbotrix refreshed head

Questions for ya.
I assume you put a STD size piston back in. Stock or aftermarket pistons? What rings and what size did you use? What ring gap did you go with? Did you use ARP rod and head bolts?
