Will these pistons work? I bought this 383 a couple months ago. The motor came with Forged SRP Pistons that are -5cc and they are made of the 4032 alloy. They guy I bought them from said they would handle a 300 shot easily. Well, I know that's not true.
But, if I am going to be spraying a 175 shot on it, and possibly a 200 shot, would they be ok for my setup?
I just like that I wouldn't have to buy pistons and they are already on the rods. I would just need rings.
The car is not a race car, it is mainly street driven. I doubt I would go through more than a few bottles a year. I maybe go to the track 4-5 times a year so its not like it is going to see a lot of nitrous.
What do you guys think?

Without knowing more info like top ring location, taper, weight etc its hard to know if there any good. I have never used them. call a engine builder from over there like EriK from HKE he should be able to use partnumbers to look up the details and let you know.

I am not exactly sure what pistons you are talking about,but if any piston can handle a 300hp shot of nitrous.it would be a good forged piston.4032 alloy are good for street strip applications,but 2618 forged pistons are recommended for race only engines with a power adder.Keep in mind forged pistons typically require more cylinder wall clearance due to higher rates of thermal expansion.Stock pistons are hypereutectic.What is the CR(compression ratio) of your engine?
