With that said I don’t think anyone is going to say nippon pistons are better then a quality forged set. I was simply giving my personal experience with nippon pistons.

Its nice to hear the p30s held to 500 whp. I allways thought that 600hp horsepower rating was bullshit.
EDIT: Wow the p30 pistons are supposed to be HYPEREUTECTIC 2618 and made in japan. Thats very nice IF its true.

Re: Ebay's Piston choice Selections

Thank you all for your help.

I have a set of eagle rods, but my stock rods are fine. I did a compression test last night warm:
1 210
2 210
3 205
4 210

after adding a capful of oil to each cylinder they all jumped to 270.

Being that the car burns oil up top in rev range pretty bad, rings are done. Anyway I am deciding of whether to just re-ring the car or get the p30 pistons with the 10.5.1

Will I need a return for the 10.5.1 if I do not beat on the car until I turbo ~march? pretty large deciding factor for me on this.

Appreciate the help!
