They are good. They used to be called Keith Black in the past. Don't confuse the Forged and the Hyperutectic pistons, as they are different.

Icon makes good pistons. These pistons you list are the FHR series, which is more like a stock replacement piston. Not as good as the full blown Icon premium that most speak of. These have 4 symetrical valve reliefs, and offset pins, with stock rings.

Pretty sure that's the part number on the pistons we installed in the 455 that we finished up yesterday (shortblock).
We fit them a bit righter than recommended, but the blocks are final finished with a torque plate. Never once had any noise when the engines are cold, or any other adverse effects from running tighter piston to bore clearances. I'm not recommending here for folks to start running these pistons as close as stock cast pistons, just saying that I set them up here pretty close, and haven't had the first issue once with them.......Cliff

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
