I have plans for GTM stage 2 TT. I would like to beef up the short block in hopes to have a very reliable car around 525whp. I understand reliable is subjective and heavily relies on components used, quality install, tune, and your right foot. As many may suggest, I will be fine on oem internals, but for how long? Car is a dd, I would like to do it right the first time.
In for opinions/thoughts on build components or any other thoughts or input you may have. Pistons- looking into Wiseco, what are thoughts on either 10:1 or 9:1 compression. Rods- Eagle or K1, which brand has a stronger rep. I have just recently heard of the K1 brand. Familiar with Eagle back in my supra days. I hear the Carrillo is more for full blown race cars and not well suited for street vehicles. Bearings- I am unaware of any aftermarket Main and Rod Bearings. Thinking oem at the moment. I hear GTM bearings are OEM that are coated for higher strength. Bolts- ARP head and main studs. Gaskets- OEM head gasket Anything else I may have missed?
