Eutectic aluminum/silicon alloy.....interesting. I google what it is and got this...
A hypereutectic piston is an internal combustion engine piston cast using a hypereutectic alloy–that is, a metallic alloy which has a composition beyond the eutectic point. Hypereutectic pistons are made of an aluminum alloy which has much more silicon present than is soluble in aluminum at the operating temperature
I was thinking of changing pistons and thought "forged" was overkill (no, blower, Nitros, etc...). I thought hypereutectic piston was a middle ground between stock and forged....I guess I have them....correct?

Correct.
The engine is somewhat highly engineered from the factory within the bounds of mass production techniques of the 90's and budget constraints for a non-halo car. (non ZR-1)
