Absolutely not, that's retarded. The whole idea is that if you have new info to add or clarification to be made trying to find that spread across 5 threads would be redicculous. Imagine if the DIY Bilstein thread was scattered across 10 different threads

I'd drop fuel pump down a bit, I think pretty much everyone over 250whp is running an aftermarket pump. I feel like mine is showing signs of struggling at 200whp. They're cheap and you don't want to find out that the stock one can't keep up when you're at peak power/boost.

The stock coils should probably join the list as well. Maybe 225whp-250whp.

Overall that's a good list.

I seriously just read this post and was like, damn that guy knows what he's talking about, I'm gonna :likecat: him... before I realized that was me... 5 years ago.

Another 5 years of beating up OEM pistons on forged rods with no issues at all. 5 dyno's over 300whp (including a sig linked 330whp pull on a Mustang Dyno), a pile of 11 second 1/4 mile time passes, and probably 100k miles on stock pistons, no issues seen.

I did kill a 6 speed @ ~370whp/320wtq, stock pistons, stock 3.90 torsen, stock axles never gave me an issue.
