My friend had his dad bore the cylinders out in his Beretta GTZ and he now has a damn quick GTZ. He said he can do the same to my Mustang but I'll need bigger pistons (which obviously makes since). I'm wondering how many people have done this, and what would be a safe volume to bore to (my car is a DD for 6 months of the year). Also, where do you buy the larger pistons, and how much are they? I'm assuming the pistons from a 5.0 Mustang would work if you bored to 5.0? Is there anything else that needs to be purchased for this? Is the power increase substantial?
