Wouldnt these be strong enough with out treating? I emailed both places to try and find out about how much it will cost. But first i need to find an engine so I can have my friend get started on the rebuild. 99 SVT Silver with Blue Stripe "To each his own" www.SVTContour.org

Pauter now does it cheaper and quicker. As far as cryo goes, I had the entire rotating assembly cryo'd- crank, pistons, rods, pins, rings, flywheel, and pressure plate. And for those lucky enough to remember my hub failures at SZ last year, I had some hubs treated as well. Do some searching for the S/C kit and you can find them around 3K here and there.

Also who else sells the SC kit? SP has it for 3,699.00 (satin) 2003 Cobra's are selling there 42#'ers with low milage and upping to 50's when swapping blowers. Personally I think a 36# will do fine. After all the turbo kit comes with 24's and it obviously has been extensively tested by streetflight to fit the application. I cant see the need to make a jump from the 24's to 42's.

(although vortech uses 38's in the returnless kit) the 24 lb injectors are only good for about 300 fwhp if i believe. according to keith at street flight, at about 380 fwhp, the 39/42 lb (cant remember which one he quoted me) injectors are at 80% duty cycle. so yes, big hp applications do need to be upgraded.
