Anthony, what year is your car and what engine do you have?

you will need a rebuild, you need forged pistons, the stock hyperutenic pistons dont hold up to boost well

alright so i dont even put the turbo on first?
my cousin is installing a incon TT 800 kit on his stock engine now
how much do u think a good engine will cost .. i am looking for a 331 custom cam... afr heads.. and a holley intake... how much do u think everything will cost ... both if i do it and wiht the labor chargers... i will most likely build my self

I ran my Incon Twins for close to a year on a stock motor. I popped a head gasket before I trashed the bottom end. Granted I have forged pistons. As long as you keep the boost down around 8psi and be aware you don't have forged pistons, you should be alright until you can build a new engine. Make sure your cooling system is up to snuff!

I have about 6-7k in parts for my new engine, but I bought a R302 block and got a GREAT! deal on my stroker kit.
