That material is used in most high end apps but it expands and contracts more than other piston materials meaning "wear"... Where the meat is, "how thick the crown is and the skirts." has to do with the different manufacturers, differences in ringland placement, i forget the term but the holes wiseco pistons have where the oil ring goes "for faster break in". There are different designs and thats about the only things that make them unique. All are good forgings for the kinda power you want, it has a lot to do with personal preferance.
The pistons that are made to make the most power arent the ones that will last 100,000 miles. Most people that make alot of power and have a built engine dont rely on the car to be daily driven. I have always heard good of CP also and i will use those.
P.S check into piston ring stuff because there are pro's and cons to a moly ring vs. and chrome ring. C-ya on CSS </TD></TR></TABLE>

Can anyone tell me the difference (pros and cons) between the two? (read bold from the quote). Thanks.

 

any takers?

 

chrome is a weldable material. probably not good for extreme heat.
