yep, hyper pistons are fine, been saying that in here forever myself.


the forged piston dispell heat quicker but also expand from heat more, thats why
you have to run looser clearances on them, you also have to be careful of flogging
on cold forged pistons cause they're still kinda "flopping" around in the cylinder till
they're good and warmed up and expanded.

yea the only real drawback is if you have the timing set too high or something. detonation can and will melt them. h/c/i...definetly ok. nos or boost....limited but ok. big shots of nos or alot of boost....meltdown bro. as long as you watch the timing and prevent detonaion you should be aight.

Well I shouldnt have any problems than. All I plan on doing is a nice H/C/I w/ a small shot. Its just going to be a nice weekend car ya know. It just sucks because I have to sell my 88 GT to get the 93. I love that 88 so much even though its the biggest POS. Im definetly gonna shed a tear when it gets towed from my house

Yeah, since hypers are harder they can put the top ring closer to the top of the piston and yield better emmisions since air/fuel doesn't burn well between the piston and cylinder.

i wouldnt spray hyperutectic pistons at all. i've seen too many people destroy good engines buy doing that. people who dont know about nitrous+nitrous+hyper pistons=destruction. if you know what you're doing, and have worked with nitrous before you'll probably be okay. but it isnt a "bolt the bottle down, throw the nozzles on and let er rip" process. thats how things break.
