Since you're rebuilding it get forged internals. It will be much stronger. Now is the time to go turbo!

Forged rods and pistons FTW
Get the 8.8.1 compression if you ever decide to turbo that bish

I would have to agree, (not actually hearing it run). If it seems fine below 4000 rpm, I wouldn't think it was a mechanical problem. If it back fired the IM at all, it may have messed up the MAP sensor.

i believe not. ZeroChad just did his rebuild and he has the 400 cam and 10.5:1 forged internals. check out his log for more info.
