At what point are "custom nitrous pistons" required?

How many people out there build forged 346s then never spray them or hit them with a 100 shot? Tons of people over build their cars and if you think I'm wrong you're delusional.

Sorry but, I call bullshit on this one.... Mid 9s on a stock bottom end with a 175hit????? I have a full weight 1998 TA with a 370 hitting it with a single stage DP 300 shot and all I go is mid 9s....

Want a cookie? Mid nines isn't slow and that run wasn't done on the 300. "9.58 last year with the old nitrous setup(NOS Single Nozzle getting supplied fuel off the Rail spraying 230hp). I then added a Stand alone Fuel System and NX Nozzle spraying 300hp. The first pass off the foot brake the car went straight on its bumper and cut a 1.34 with the Rear Tires."

My mistake on what I interpreted you to say about folks over built. I thought you were referring to guys hitting a 300 shot.
Gotta go find my pipe now...

I'd agree with the 300 hp estimate.
Next and I went close to the same times with stock cubes but I needed more N20 to get there, maybe his tune up was better or maybe his car was lighter. there is more than one way to get there.
Custom N20 pistons will be much more forgiving on bad tune ups than an off the self piston. So if you learning or if you "think" you know how to tune a N20 car its a good idea.
Happy spraying!

Thanks John. I'm humbled.

I get sideways sometimes on folks just posting info about what they read, heard or think someone else did. Lot's of people read this stuff with the hopes that the info is dead on as they are spending their hard earned money on parts that can go boom. Ask ATV how hard it is to learn this stuff with your own wallet.

i went with off the shelf manley pistons because i have no dilusions of spraying over a 250. its only pilled for a 150 now and i have yet to even tune it haha. but when i had the motor done they said 300 was the max they would go on the piston. anything more then that and the build was going to get a bit more pricey and it didnt sound too appealing to me. just went with a good set of rings and am hoping my tune will be spot on or damn close to it.
