    Theve held up well, Alot of strokers are running the Mahles from awhile back, In the last year theres been alot more options on the table, I had a issue with one Mahle piston but Ive chalked it up to installer error.

    Just a rule of thumb I have learned from my mistakes in the past.

    If you have ask about a piston/rod/head/block it is best not to use them. I wish I followed that route with ModMax back in 2002 when I did my stroker on my mustang. I would have gone a completely different route and saved an ass ton.

    Typically people will almost brag about what pistons/rods/heads/blocks they use without asking. That is when you know you have found a good product.

    I blew 6/8 pistons but that was not the pistons fault. I put back in the same pistons I blew.

    Mahle in a N/A application with a good tune will never have any issues.....I would not put big spray on them or heavy boost as they are more brittle than other pistons.....but if your just looking for N/A use I wouldn't shy away.
