Looks great! Did you weigh the new pistons vs the old with a gram scale by chance?
If you really want to get the air out get a big burp funnel and let it run up to temp. It will push out a good 2 quarts into the funnel as it gets up to temps and then all the air is easy to see bubbling out. You'd be surprised how much air is usually trapped in there. Sometimes takes 20-30 mins before all the bubbles stop.

This car is sweet. My next build is going to be as sloppy as possible. The goal will be to run single digits for under 10 grand including purchase of car.
Keep this thread going. Glad to see these pistons in a car that will really be pushed. I think you should get a kick back from speed pro because I have a feeling they will sell a bunch of these if you prove their strength.

It survived!
12* timing. 23-24psi.
Had to crank the fuel pressure to 70psi base. 94-95ish on boost.
Injectors are right about 130-135% idc.
Yes, i know this is not the way to do things with the injectors but plenty of people do it and it works.
10.5-10.7 afr up top.
Feels like a complete animal.
Set the antilag at 2900rpm and i can build 4psi. As soon as i launch it blows the tires off.
Motor felt great and i did about 15 pulls back to back and it didnt skip a beat
