Great minds think alike LOL I am doing a custom rear mount w tc 76 . My only limiting factor is going to be the fuel sytem so I am planing on making as much as I can on that . I am thinking 500-600 through a th-350

Those are 4032 alloy forged pistons...i wouldnt run more than 10-12 psi boost on them or you're going to be repairing it and replacing with 2918 pistons.

Unless you ordered their custom race pistons and not their standard powerpak then you got 4032 alloy.
