imma grab another z6 and build it up a little. Whats all needed to be replaced to run like 300whp. I know rods pistons rings what else ?? And what am i lookin at money wize. If u can make a list of parts i should upgrade. Its a daily driver so reliability is a must. thats why i wanna build another blockup. 300whp should be reliable street if done right and not beat on. ---

I’m starting to see all kinda stock D16’s pullin over 300whp. I’d say focus on a good HG and arp studs. Get a y8 intake mani, bigger cam and tune tune tune! …a 60-1 wouldn’t hurt either 😉 ---

Search for Vitara pistons. They are going for $120 and yield a 8.5:1 compression ratio. There is a wait for them since the demand is so great since they are so cheap. Check out [tunertoys.com](http://tunertoys.com) for some rods. The vitaras are holding MANY 400+ setups. I don’t really like 8.5:1 compression ratios b/c they seem to be so laggy on the bottom end. JE has some 9.2:1(i think) but are near atleast $400. As gearhead was saying, get some ARP Headstuds, and a new Honda factory headgasket and your top will be complete for those HP goals. ---
