New company, believe it's ran by a few that used to work for JE. IIRC they're forged in Germany? I may be thinking of the wrong company though.

This is a new line of pistons from United Engine & Machine Co. which also makes KB (aka Keith Black) pistons. It is US Company and has been in business since 1922.

I've ran them in a few SBC/BBC combo's and haven't had a single issue with them. All the SBC's were for modified dirt track cars, and so far have lasted 2 seasons. The BBC was a tall deck 427 built for a high RPM, high HP mud truck. Haven't heard anything about them in LSx engines though. For the money, I'd run them without hesitation.

ETA: Also, they have great customer service! Especially when dealing with custom compression heights etc. I went through with the tall deck 427 and Dart Pro1's. It would of cost me at least $300 more from other manufacturers.

Here's the -38CC 427 pistons I used
