I hope you have better luck with Wiseco than I did, they couldnt handle building me a set of pistons to run with a 4.1 crank and 6.125 rod in an iron block 6.0. 300 miles in it was drinking a quart every 100 miles. Ill never use their pistons again, hopefully it wasnt Brian Nutter who helped you with the piston design...
Beautiful car, I hope to have something like that one day

I suppose it's like any company.. there are happy people and ones not so happy.. :shrug:
Thanks for the compliment on the car.
As for cam specs.. I will get them soon.
Pretty sure the small cam is 247/263 114LSA .624 lift (installed at 110.5)
Will have to go look at the bigger cam we didn't run.

Not the first time or the last. Haven't bought a set since either.

Nice results Steve, enjoy the new power
Wiseco did me a 4.070" bore piston in a 6.0 block with a 4.1 crank and 6.125 rods and I ran it for 2 years without issue. Proper cylinder hone and prep at the bottom of the cylinder bore where the piston rocks has been key for me, both of which Wiseco would have no control over.
