> The MS4 will fit without flycutting the pistons if the heads have not been shaved. True story!

I thought that was how Richie grenaded the motor in his black T/A. Could be wrong though that was years ago.

you can get away with the ms4 with stock heads. Anything else requires fly cutting usually.

and richie drove around with the ms4 for 3 years without a tune. Im not saying thats what caused it but it sure as hell didnt help it.

I think I’m just gonna go with the 235/238 .621"/.612" 112+3. Being an auto with 3.73’s and planning my converter correctly, I feel like it should be a good fit and should also scream on the bottle while still being a good fit if I decide to upgrade heads in the future.
