Since the B53 setup nets a sort of aggressive compression for boost, and you'll want to use 2618 pistons anyway, you may be better off swapping in 2618 forged pistons in a 9.0-9.5 comp rating. So if there is a need for more boost you don't have to worry about hitting a compression ceiling on 93 octane.Is there any compelling reason to go with the B53 iron block which will add roughly 100 lbs to the car, as opposed to a forged rotating assembly in the stock aluminum block?
I realize this may be self answering, but didn't know if I had missed something obvious.
The business of getting serious hp from a 4.6 seems to be an expensive minefield.
I'm not sure I wouldn't be better off going to a coyote gen car with bolt ons.

Thanks.
Now I'm thinking one of the Modmax rotating assemblies w\o the crank and substitute the 2618 pistons for the less robust ones.
Am I getting closer?
An earlier post said to be sure and get the pistons "skirt coated". Not familiar and is this something I need to get with the pistons?

The boss rods via Tasca and Steve are way cheaper.
So, do stainless rings cause em to burn oil or are they the way to go?
