RE: forged pistons

forge pistons wouldn't give you more hp...sometimes a tad less due to clearances......when using nitrous it's the rods bolts would first worry me..with the extra force on them..

So you would stop at only 375 hp, playing it safe you could go up to 450 hp and never worry about it.

RE: forged pistons

yeah im playing it safe big time, i dont like pushing stiff to its limits, im going to build another motor next fall probably starting with a dart block, eagle crank, manly rods, and ross pistons. that should hold almost anything you would want.
