Couldnt tell you what material they were off the top of my head, i just got some pics in an IM chat.

Probably just perspective of the camera. I was asking about the alloy cuz I was reading some discussion on alloys the other day and I was just curious.

With those absolutely huge top ring lands, they'd probably handle enough nitrous to lift the heads

What he said, same here rings are spaced good from the heat, one-off custom Wiseco's, it's like they say you get what you pay for
very nice

Like I said, i was unsure. Whats for sure though is they are extremely nasty pistons.

From ROSS' web site they say all the pistons that they make are...
2618 T-61 aluminum.................
A most awesome piston!
Oh, my guess on how much nitrous. . . as much nitrous as you can stuff through your cylinder heads.

Do you know what brand and type/size piston rings Eric is planning to use?
Also curious, did he buy a few extra or just 8?
I just bought a few sets of custom Ross pistons and really should have planned ahead and bought a few extra as spares just in case.
Hard annodized coating blower piston
mild nitrous or natural motor piston
Had it made almost exactly like my favorite piston in the world, (the Mahle flat top). But with a bit of a thicker crown for custom machining.
