I shattered 3 Pistons ( all at the 2nd land) in my 97' LT1, about 10 miles after installing a Procharger P1SC supercharger my Best Man bought me for my wedding.  Since he installed it behind my back, not all the corresponding upgrades were done i.e injectors, tune .  My engine has been laying on the operating table helpless for over a year now. I NEED HELP choosing a rotating assembly and anything else I would need to handle about 9-12 lbs of boost for a street strip application. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Please keep <$2000 to get back running.

An Eagle rotating assembly and SRP blower pistons are fairly economical and durable. I hope your block is okay, you could have a cracked cylinder (or three). Word of advice: call Golen Engine Service. Spend a few extra bucks, get it done right once and for all. If you have a local machine shop do it for you, and they screw it up–you will wind up spending twice as much anyways.
