Nice pistons. I have been looking at stroker parts.

I know you're a racer, but do you know how well stroker pistons hold up on the street with that gap in the oil ring land? Special rings there? Anything you have to do out of the ordinary?

….. There is a support rail under the Oil ring to help bridge the gaps on the wrist pins … Its very hard to see in that pic … You will usually only encounter this gap when the compression height of the piston is less than 1 1/4" … it can also be avoided by stroking less than 4.00" or using shorter connecting rods like the 350's standard 5.700" rod …..
