rebuild info

This coming winter I'm looking to pull my motor out and do a heads and cam package and rebuild the bottom end. What parts should I look to buy to do a good bottom end rebuild? Things like ARP rod bolts, etc. Does anyone make a good complete bottom end rebuild kit?

Rod bolts are about all you're going to need to upgrade on the bottom end of a 99 car... well, the pistons -- if you want to go with some forged ones. Other than that, the rods/crank are good for 600-700+ horsepower no problem.

I'm planning on doing the heads and cam and some spray, can anyone recommend a good set of pistons?

Can't go wrong with Diamond.

Stick with a name brand and make sure you get the proper ones for your intended use.
