Re: would it be safe?or would need mods?

if your careful with fuel delivery and tuning you can get away without putting pistons and rods in. but the stock HG is pretty fragile and should be replaced with a multi layer steel one.

if you want do skimp on the tune, forged pistons would be a good idea. the stock rods are at least forged even if they arent the strongest rods ever. but the pistons are cast and not as strong. that said, they have been proven to support over 400whp in a very well tuned car.

Never skimp on a tune, pay now for a good tune, or pay later for a new motor.. the stock KA is a pretty stout motor when handled correctly..
