Those JE pistons are the best you can buy... But just make sure you know what your doing... its not just a bolt on type part...

A noble pursuit but it's easier said than done. Toysport on FE Heads

You're going to spend a lot of money on internals and get very little in return. For a high hp all-motor engine you need to increase the redline and with this head it costs and the end doesn't justify the means. In a perfect world, the best plan would be to get someone to make you a better flowing head with wide angle valves and run a standalone EMS. Then if you could do that, your would have to make sure the cooling for the block is adequate. Fyi, I'm not an engine builder but there are lots of people on here that can explain why you can't really (in terms of $ per hp) do all-motor with this engine.

^what he said... unless you plan on professionally racing your tc, don't do it... its not worth the money for a daily driving car and a weekend racer.. if you even race... (don't i did for awhile, eventually got caught, had to do 30 hrs community service w/ 175 dollar fine)...
