Safe hit for hyper pistons
Safe hit for hyper pistons Hey guys whats the biggest shot you'd spray on a hyper. piston? What i have is a 6.0 bored. 040 running flat top hypers on stock floating rods with arp bolts stock crank. Heads are 243's ported n polished up and milled .010. Running cometic gaskets at a .051 thickness. Wanna do a direct port wet kit that NX offers with the fuel rails. Says up to a 150 shot. This safe on these piston? Heard theyre stronger than stockers. This true?
Thanks in advance!

That huge azz wall clearance is WAY worse for rings than a stock piston. Of course once the forged motor is well warmed, maybe not so much diff.
The other advantage is less swelling by hypers on warmup, so you can damn near crank the engine, do a burnout and hit the juice.
Yeah thats what i heard about forged motors. Theyre tough but loose when theyre cold due to the fact of how much they swell when hot. Main thing that had me worried was the compression factor im running. Supposed to be somewhere around 11.3:1 range and im on stock head bolts not arps. Just arp's in the rods.
