Default How much $$$ for a new set of Ross pistons???????????

I looked everywhere I could and can't find a price.

I'm just looking for a close estimate. For my motor in my sig.

Just in case I need new ones.

I would say 750 with rings. Of course they are right up the street from me and that is not what my buddy paid. Call them direct for a quote.

I don't even know what to tell them I need. I don't know what compression they are either, ARE didn't list it on my spec sheet. I was just curious how much I will have to pay if Mike Norris says I need to replace them. I'm sure he'll order the correct replacements.

Thanks though.

I gave up long ago asking for help from ARE. Even though my motor is less than a year old, they seem to want nothing to do with it anymore.

The price we spoke about was fine, but now I'm hearing that just the TB is going to run another $1,400. I had no idea a 90mm TB was that much.

If I can swing it all, I'll be calling you on the 10th or 11th to order the intake, thats when I'm dropping my car off.

I haven't forgotten, I want this bitch to put out as much power as it possibly can. And with the 300 DP shot that intake and TB will be key.

Thanks

I can get you a TB much cheaper than that. We have one that will be about $750-$800. Looking into the options of offering these with the intakes.

No new #`s on that motor we have some changes in the ones we are building now and they will be even better. Your car will scream with the nitrous.

The Kinsler 90mm TB is $1,400 I believe.

You might call Katech, Lingenfelter, or Reher Morrisson. They'd be able to help you on your quest. If that doesn't work out there's a ton of others: Venolia, Mahle, JE, Wiseco, Childs & Albert, to name a few.
