Re: 8v Pistons 4mm above the deck
What's wrong with boosting auto power pistons? Guy I know make 220WHp on his 8v Xflow 2.0 turbo with auto power pistons no issues? Fueling and timing is good it won't break pistons.Naku786 wrote:Good luck boosting with autopower pistons... might as well gooi some india kings in the block & blow it up now

Dude, I should give you the number of the mechanic who built my old Audi motor. This is no problem for him to sort out. Just gooi the whole block and pistons onto the decking machine and level those pistons flat!
Ja, it happened.
