You would have had hotrod God status back in 1980!!!! too bad they didnt start the run down lower, I would like to see what the full torque curve looked like. Very nice numbers!!!

"You would have had hotrod God status back in 1980!!!!" I was going to say the same thing. Would have been the boss in a nice light car.

Good hyper pistons will be quieter than forged and unless you're planning to spray it hard, they'll be fine.
