I don't think you'll get 25-30psi out of that 7875. Unless you put like 60psi of springs in the gate lol

DSS has been selling $400 forged LS1 pistons for YEARS now. I dunno how people still neglect to use them.

I've always wondered if anyone's used these before. They're been available forever at a very affordable price.

Would love to see an update once your motor's up and running at the abuse you plan on running it.

Thank you.

One time bump, Anyone have experience with these pistons and/or rod combination before?

Would love to hear some feed back. Could be a potential option for low budget builds with power goals?
