Please please critique my setup or give me some suggestions. I'm really excited to see these pistons too!

Hey where did you purchase your clevite bearings btw?

[nizmo240sx_22]

I first went to autozone and they had them pretty cheap but they said they were discontinued or something..."vendor doesn't have any".I got rod and mains for $75 at http://www.autopartsgiant.com

good site as long as you don't fall for their "product substitution" fine print.

Stock bolts have done +400rwhp on many KA-Ts.

I even reused a stock headgasket and headbolts on my old motor, then boosted it to 8psi, and it held fine for over 6 months, until I chose to replace it with - They are pretty stout. That same motor later powered my S13 for ~6 months (non-turbo), and it ran great then , too!
