well for the valvetrain i got valve springs (skunk), TI retainers (portflow), stainless steal valves (skunk), bronze valve guides, and ARP head studs for $825. crower is good stuff but its really all the same stuff just different names who sell it
as for the pistons i got JE racing pistons, gsr, 9:1 pistons so my compression is like 8.7:1… i got those pistons with rings for $525
i got most of my stuff from importbuilders they have good prices and service i highly reccomend you give’em a call or shoot them an e-mail…the only thing they could not get for me was the crower rods
