pistons/compression
Building a 357 currently, have a few ?'s
Heres the build basic's
2 bolt main
Stock crank
Stock rods, ARP bolts
Forged pistons, 40 over
ARP head bolts
Melling 10554 Oil pump
LE 226/234 stick
Light ported heads/intake (322rwhp w/all boltons, no EWP/Lid, mac headers)
52mmtb/30 lb inj/3.73's/lid
Boltons
I want to find a cheaper forged piston since I will be running stock rods, 2 bolt, stock crank. I dont really want to have a weak link in the bottom end and spoke with the machine shop owner for a bit. He thinks I should use Mahle, but I wanted to see what you guys thought about speedpro, SRP, etc.
The car will see a 150 hit the following year. I may get N20 rings for whatever cheaper piston I get... Just a thought tho, looking for some input?
Next the car will be a DD April to Sept but I want to run all the compression I can. How much do you think I can get away with on DCR/SCR??
I dont want to go above 12.1 tho. It will only get pump gas, 93 in chicago tho so its not too bad.
Any help would be appreciated.
