Piston?
Piston? I ordered a set of these pistons for my 355 lt1 build http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRW-8KL2256F30/, but the guy that is balancing my motor says they are too darn heavy so I am going to exchange them and pay a little extra for these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SLP-L2490F30/; they are supposedly lighter than the stock pistons. I am wondering if they are higher compression or lower than the pistons I originally ordered.
O.K that's good I want to keep the compression high. Could someone help me estimate what the compression would be with lt1 le1 heads, stock rods, stock crank and a .026" thick head gasket.

the 2256 will work if you want to save yourself a few bucks.Of course it will need to be re balanced,no mallory metal is needed.only welding up some of the holes on the throws is all it takes.Someone is just being hard headed with you...

Ya "wont balance " is bs. I would choose a different piston though. LT people must think it's a sin to use anything besides SRP or Speed Pro. There's a reason its the cheapest forged stuff you can find.
Yes he said he could balance it, but it will cost me more to balance and would not run as wall as the others he recommended. He also commented on the friction the first pistons will put on the cylinder.
They are a reliable budget piston and 99% of the people on this forum don't need a super lightweight piston, nor would they be even able to tell the difference. Tons of guys are going fast with them, including myself. It's not a sin to use what's less expensive and equally as dependable as pistons twice their cost.
I suppose it's more personal preference, but I chose them in my build for their reliable track record and see great results.
