Mike,
I guess since I come from a big city, I am used to bigger neighborhoods.

I'm paying for that now. Piston speed is crazy and loading is a big deal.

Its all part of the game. Research. Develop. Advance.
I just had a similar problem, yes ran a cheap piston, broke it. Now I am paying for good pistons. Thank god the block is good!!!

That isn't me, We were cutting wood for a fire pit??? Motors been in the car over a month. Every weekend we go to test the tracks are closed due to a heat wave. Freeze plug would have never stayed in the head. There is no material to hold it in. A plug needed to be welded in its place. Tony said give it to me and I'll weld it up free of charge. The First attemp it did make 1240ish with warm up oil on the third warm up pull and the heads started to leak water so the session was ended

That was a month ago. Pool+beer+no fireworks=fire. That's like the second law of thermodynamics

Who's pistons do you like best. Everyone I speak to has a different opinion.
Ross, Diamond, Carillo, JE. I'm pretty sure JE is getting my custom piston order.
