I had a nov 02 xrt sedan for two years but decided to sell it when I bought my house to try pump some cash into the house while interest rates were low,plan was always to upgrade to a bf ute which im looking at getting probably early next year, so atleast the phoon motor will all ready to go with forged bottom end....damn I miss the xr6t, the bt-50 just doesn't cut no matter how many times I take it off roadThanks again for the input, I was leanin toward mahle pistons and atomic rods, Ive sent and email to nizpro to get hold of the rods but I dont think they do supply only for the rods, or they didn't on the website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This combo should be good for up to 1500hp. I'd like to push those limits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
