I do have a question though: Rebuild before low boost(7psi) setup or no? I know that is depends on the condition of the engine that you are working with, but what are some of the bare neccessities? I was thinking forged pistons and new rod bearings at least.
You don't need to rebuild until you hit the point where bearings start to break or turn. This can occur as high as 350hp, but bearings have been known to turn below that as well. Running 7psi on the stock internals is fine. I run 12.8 psi on my stock internal KA24DE as well, with no problems.
