Really? That can't be the only reason. I bought them because my builder said he uses them all the time and can get them within 2 weeks, and he did. I still can't figure out why they are not used much on LSX builds other then the "off the shelf" deal.

Been gone over a ton. Most of their shelf stuff is not so good and they don't have much coverage. Wiseco has ten times the coverage and has more for your money.
I use JE on reg SBC and SBF etc. often but they don't have almost anything for LSx although they are moving to fix that I am sure. They make good stuff in general just not a lot for the LSx.

Yep, custom made for me. I was there when he called in the order. My builder has been working with a guy right in JE for years and he will always push his orders through. Not sure how it works but he guaranteed them within 2 1'2 weeks because i was going to order from you guys and Chris said 6-8 for sure on Wiseco's. I didn't want to wait this long so i went with JE's. He actually helped JE fix some LSX piston designs and issues when JE first started out making these for the LSX builds. I wanted to believe it would be this quick but i had my doubts. I paid $1200 with the rings so i didn't think it was just too bad!??

You paid to expedite them then. That's about 400.00 more than Wiseco from us but they won't expedite at all so you have to wait. We used to order a lot of JE at the school and they are the fastest when expediting pistons. I think now that Diamond will also rush orders as well for a lot more money but Wiseco won't do it still.

No I am wrong on that Chris is right as total cost would have been around in the 950.00 range and it does depend on which options you get as well.
JE's are awesome pistons and they really are faster when expedited. I don't know why Wiseco won't even offer a faster service but maybe they will in time.
