in need of a piston or piston info I turned up the boost on twin turbo l33 and bent number 7 rod and scuffed up the piston pin boss area also. I was looking for one or some stock gm l33 pistons to get it back together.After two hours of reading and looking i'm still not seeing want i want and am more confused as to what they actually are. Mine are completely flat on top with the big cross or plus sign in them. All the ones I found that advertise for l33 have the cross on them but are dished. Any help or info is greatly appreciated. Thanks Mark

This is the truck basically street drivable. A lot of work still to do. This is a somewhat update that bad apache asked for. This is on hot rod power tour. Made 728 tire on the dump at power tour on 15 degrees timing and 15 psi. I don't know if that's good or bad but that's what it made on e85. It put 21 pound springs in it and bent Buber 7 rod. May of been do to pedaling it under boost, again I don't know. I lost a lot of build pics on my old phone but I will post more

Thanks for the pics. Really loved seeing the build coming together in your thread. Glad you beat that things *** too! Check out Dave Dennis' Model A on youtube when you get a chance. He's hoping to break into the 7's next year. Good luck with your truck!

yeah dennis coupe is a bad boy for sure. I made a fun pass at gateway this year on power tour and on the street tires rolling into it at about 300' it went 132 spinning somewhat, its on youtube, I don't have any rollbar or safety stuff so I gotta watch and remember its a street rod and not a drag car. I put about 7-8 thousand miles on it this summer. I love the truck and how its turned out so far, thanks Mark
