OPINIONS: Needed before I rebuild my blown motor

[72nismo]

Just blew my 95 stock ka24de.So I need some opinions on what internals to use.What are the diffrence's pistons( 8.5 or 9.0)? I want to be able to get 300 to 350 hp.Thanks

You can hit 300-350 with either compression. AMS sells arias 8.8:1 pistons, I'd recommend that or another 9.0:1, it's a good balance between compression and boost

yep yep

Any forged piston/rod combination will allow you to run far more then 350whp if tuned correctly. So budget will be the only thing holding you back.

In regards to tuning I am using the JWT engine management.

if you only want 300 to 350 hp. then you can just put some forged slugs on your shot peened stock rods. guess it depends if you have the extra money to burn .

id go with 8.5:1 you since you have that extra displacement.
