The pedal should feel a little firmer, but the biggest difference is gonna be when you're on the verge of lockup or when you lockup and have to recover real fast. The firewall flexes a ton, @SSlowBoat have someone pump the pedal while you watch from the engine bay side and you'll see it.
thots & feels?

the +9cc concerns me, currently have a +28cc. Would be like a 10 something SCR
Also looking at this "kit" for valve springs

Just unsure on valve guides now.
A quick study on the pistons....Looks like the are made by Racetec Pistons. Racetec forged are 2618 alloy. These are Autotec low expansion 4032 alloy.
Ah that would explain the price being cheaper.
JE pistons it is
Coincidentally, the guy that owns Racetec Pistons owned JE at one point.

Currently the JE stuff is down in price, so hopefully that holds till end of December.
