Its time. Bottom end is getting worn out. Im tired of trying to tune a worn out motor with tons of Phantom Knock, It seems impossible to get a good tune with this thing. Its got quite a bit of blow-by, its smoking and my leak down test proved it too.

So... Ive been poking around looking at prices and such and Im wondering what parts I should go with.
Heres a List I got from SlowBoy. Because they have everything listed with prices Im using them just as a reference, Not necessarialy going to buy from them.

Pistons:
Ross $440
Wiseco $440
JE $550

Rods:
Eagle $350
Scat $320 (with ARP studs installed)

Im going to get all APR studs, Not sure what bearings to get, Clevite? Stock?

I guess my biggest question is the Pistons and Rods.
Is there a huge difference between the Eagle and Scat?
What about Pistons? Any opinions on the ones I have listed? Im a big fan of JE's in my Quad but not sure about how they hold up in a DSM. Or if theyre worth the extra $100

Im running a T04E 60 trim turbo just FYI. For all my mods see the DSM Registry link in my sig.

Opinions guys...

Scat vs. Eagle, i have not used either but my research says scat is the same as eagle but with better quality, but there are no big #s on dsm scat rods yet. If i was building a motor i would get wiseco pistons, cheap and good enough for 650whp+ street/strip car.
