Default Wiseco Pro-Tru pistons

Anyone here use their forged flat top pistons? Machine shop says they're lighter than Mahle pistons (they told me the weight but I can't remember off the top of my head). I'm just wondering what kind of performance they have.

Their kit is a good deal right now, so I'm wondering if I should cash in on some.

I'm using them but mine have a 6cc dish. They've withstood a lot of nitrous but the car has been tuned really well also.

Well, I guess you can't argue with 10.9. Pretty impressive. What are you using for con rods on that car? My compliments BTW, great job.

Weisco makes good pistons but if you plan on spraying n2o or boost, i would not look into a real lightweight piston. For N/A they look to be real good, try them out and let us know how it works for you. Later Clint

Eagle forged H beams. Thanks!

The car definitely had enough in it to run some 10.0's but I still haven't gotten the suspension dialed in. It's a 6-speed.
