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

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.
