Re: Help Ohio Pistions (Cory1970)
I think there just cast pistons. Is this what you wanted? I saw something about them being rated for 400HP. Does that suit your specifications? You aren't going to be usings NOS or a Blower are you?
Cast pistons will last a long time as long as you dont exceed their capability. I wouldn't push the compression either, because I wouldn't want to do anything that may RATTLE them!
Good Luck

Re: Help Ohio Pistions (Cory1970)
They are a dense cast piston.Not forged.Usually run on "claimer" engines.If your mechanic/machine shop thinks otherwise might be time for new mechanic /machine shop or you furnish all the parts.
TRW L2256F Forged would be a better choice in my opinion.
What heads are you using?

They are Flat top with 4 valve reliefs. 9.75 compression with your heads and a Felpro head gasket. $214.00 and will last a very long time and take much abuse.Well worth the $100 or so extra bucks.They are near slipper skirt design and will knock a little when cold.
What cam and intake manifold and carb are you going to use?
