    why not just get forged piston's and rods? i think it would be just about the same but different compression

    getting forged pistons and polishing is completely different
    Your signature is too long.

    save your cash and buy a fast car in a couple of years...

    a P&P alone is going to do nothing for you anyhow... it's kind of a last step after you've decided to do the bottom end, then you move to the heads...

    no power from it, without other pieces... and that gets costly...

    Gee, anyone doing anything to their car could take that advice P&P does have it's benefits. True, you'll see more benefit from it in combination with other mods - but wait, isn't that the case with almost every performance mod - intake, exhaust, headers, etc.? You see more as you add. At any rate, 2 things that aren't given proper credit, IMHO, is P&P in I/E port & gasket matching...

    I also am in the camp that suspects P&P will have beneficial effects on this car - particularly the porting. At 3.0L there is plenty of displacement and we should be able to get more power out of it

    Here in houston, Their is a shop of 59 North(ish) that will do a P&P and 3 angle valve job for 150 -200 if you bring in the heads. the name of the shop is Scroggins (sp?) This was the price that they quoted me and my cousin when we got hi8s L98 heads worked over...

    In my experiances just doing a P&P will net you approx 10whp BUT if you add a cam while you are at it I could see 30-40 hp gain out of the 3.0L WITH proper tuning after it is installed. With out tuning I would say you will see around 20 maybe 25 hp with the cam and the P&P.

    BUT this is JMO....
