how much boost w/ je flat top?
how much boost can run with a 2004 z06 ls6 block and crank,h-beam rods ,317 heads 72cc,all arp studs, and Finlay je -2cc flat tops 194883.total seal rings.
9.6 :1 should be close.
did this so i can take the ptk style turbo kit off some day.

what turbo? you cannot just ask how much boost because it could would be possible to handle 36psi from a 50a/r turbo but maybe only 10lbs from a 1.1 a/r turbo.. these aren't actual suggestions, just letting you know 14lbs of boost from one turbo is not the same as 14lbs of boost from another turbo

sorry
i was hoping for a quickie
i assumed all ptk kit users had 66/70 mm turbos,mine are67mm/t3,t4 hybrid 70mm compressors,68mm turbines ,rate @600hp ea.
i want to be able to keep it at 600whp/700 once and awhile.
with stock bottom @5 lbs. 503whp/523tq.
7lbs. ~550
thanks for the help

i bought the je's then was talk to them for other parts when he ,the rep, told me there pistons (n/a) were only 600whp max.i told me to have a custum piston made as they do not stock what i needed.
hence the post,

I agree with this. I would trust them up to about 10psi on a well thought-out turbo setup, ringpack and excellent tune.
I believe the 600whp max NA assumes a much higher engine speed than you will be turning.
Some meth would be good insurance here.

the i don't get is how the stock pistons can run in 600whp+ range but a $700.00 dollar forged one has the same limits.my thinking was stock ran 7psi all day,14psi for the forged,that simple.
thanks for the help ,i will run them,

SRP's are a 'mild' power adder design. I agree they are pretty sturdy - I have them in my current 383, but I called them a couple weeks ago and asked what 'mild' meant to them. Their answer was "about 12psi". I'd sure hate to find the upper limit on my own. That's why I specced the high-end JE piston for my new high-boost 421.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the stock pistons are hypereutectic. They are quite strong but can literally shatter with a strong detonation, which is a lot more probable under higher boost levels.

No, they are JE 15 degree LS1:
15º LS1
Featuring our traditional style full round skirt, these pistons are designed for the stock rod (.945" dia.wrist pin) or aftermarket/small block chevy (.927" dia. wrist pin) connecting rods. Flat top design achieves compression ratios suitable for normally aspirated applications (CR calculated with .057" gasket thickness and +.010" deck clearance). Pistons are machined for 1.5, 1.5, 3mm rings.
Part # CID Bore Stroke Rod Lgth. Block Ht. Comp.Ht.

Your CR will be around 9.6:1. These should be OK for a boost level appropriate to your cam and CR.
