    odd power issues?

    i too have a power hesitation issue. mine feels like the car falls on its face then gets power then falls then power all the way to redline. I also have a cheap ebay intake with large piping that reduces for the maf and the throttle body. i also have a header and no second cat.

    msp topspeed

    when i had my msp (stock) it would hit 135 then get cut. i did this many times (young and dumb). if i recall it was around 6k rpm so it should do 140 maybe 145 without the limiter.

    Smoke on cold start

    Well I found some aftermarket forged pistons by a few companies (wiseco, nippon) at stock bore size and compression. $550-$600 though. I just dont know if I trust myself to drill into my stock pistons or if a mechanic would know what i want and do it right.
