I'm just happy i have them and i won't be down half the summer again waiting for pistons...
Wow a $1000.00 for the pistons? I bought Autotech pistons for my build. The same guy that made JE the company it is also started Autotech and Racetech pistons. I paid $600.00 for a custom set of pistons for my LS2 stroker project and even upgraded the ring package that came with them to the better set of rings.

New engine dyno numbers are in. 730/646 on 20 degrees of timing, not too shaby i guess. Expected a little more but with a composite intake on top i'm not helping anything.

You get what you pay for. I have always like JE they make a nice quality piston. Its almost ashamed you have to put them inside a motor.

Did I miss the displacement somewhere . You're E85 too, right?

Lol, I know what you mean. I'm gonna be bummed when I compare my engine dyno and chassis dyno sheets

Yes, its a 445 on E85. Man does it suck fuel like a MFO! A little ring seating and 3 pulls and it used about 7 gallons
