Anyone running probe pistons? Are any of you guys running probe pistons with boost? I have no experience with probe, I always run Mahle, or JE. Everyone I talk to around hear says the probes are garbage, but I personally have never even seen one. Im in a time jam, and probe has the piston I need. Im really picky about my pistons, so should I order them, or will I be pissed off? Mahle says 200.00 each and 12 weeks to build the piston I want. Any information on your experience with the probe pistons will be appreciated good or bad. Thanks, J
I have them in a cadillac motor with a 250 shot, they are very nice pistons.
2618 material, look just like the other brands you mentioned...I don't see why people would say they are garbage. I plan to run a set in a 6.0L motor soon too.

I have just taken Probe out of my motor to renew block/pistons due to outrageous oil consumption, the skirts were really short and the pistons seemed to rock a hell of alot. The bores were not that bad at all, i never really got to the bottom of why it used so much, i am using Mahle in the new build.

It's hard to hear anything out of the normal with a MS3 and a carb
Not to mention the exhaust that is turned out under the front seats
