I had a list of Mods installed onto my 05 LGT. I was a victim of the original VF39 going bad (bearing). So i decided to do upgrades on my car while it was down. I got a list of things added and done, than off to the dyno it went.
A shop in my area while it was on the dyno made it through 3 pulls close to 300whp. However after the third they noticed a bad rattle in the engine and they went to expect it and now can no longer turn the engine over. They thought that it might be pistons, but its purely speculation. (lets get past the shop issue and the tune and focus on the pistons)
Basically, is this the type of situation where I go back to OEM pistons and risk this same incident or Forged? It will be a daily driver, either way I want reliability.
Just curious on opinion.

Guess Ill have to start putting my wallet in my other rear pocket to straighten my seating position a lil bit. As I sit now, i wouldnt be able to see the right most LED/OLED... but its not like your supposed to stare at this thing all the time anyway so no biggie.
Cant wait to see the finished product and how much it costs!
Staring at it, would probably be a bad idea!
But i cannot wait to see what your finished product looks like. So far i really liked the idea and design of the one in the center dash. Took over my "instant mpg". At this point its not accurate anyways! haha
To those of you considering aftermarket forged pistons...
