    EQ member with pistons named Probe. That's funny.

    Are those a 6.1 stock compression replacement?

    Oh looky, looky. This should be interesting. Keep us informed on everything Drew. I'm very interested in knowing how they size to the stock bore and what the manufactures recommendations are for clearance. What rings will you be runnning??.

    All in good business...Lol!
    Yes... forged, much stronger and a heck of a lot better ring set-up.


    Will do. You'll have to get Ralph to tell you all the "technical stuff"... I'm just the poor SOB that has to pay for everything. Ralph was great in helping me deside (even after constantly bugging the crap out of him) exactly what route to take and to be able to do as much as I could with limited funds...
    Bottom line, looking to make her as strong and reliable as possible keeping the Vortech and adding a meth kit.

    Perfect Circle makes them for Nascar (at least that's what the box says...Lol) Again, please direct all technical questions to my technican, cause I'm clueless... learning, but still clueless...Lol!

    Drew, call Scotty over at CMW, he should be able to get you the ARP's you are looking for.

    +1 on the meth kit!!!

    The pistons we are trying are a direct replacement, but forged and with the ring set, I was told they can handle 15 psi with ease.

    by the looks of the pics, the top ring land looks quite a bit thicker!!

    oh btw - make sure not to go overboard on the meth. spray too much and power is killed and worse, you will send the car into limp mod at the worst times!!!! ask me how i know this!! :getlost:
