alright hypereutectic is a lighter, not as strong type of pistons that were put into 93 mustangs. Made out of carbon and silicone.

when buying pistong, you can get hyper or forged. hyper is weak and cheap. forged is stronger and costs more. thats a pretty simple explanation.

Here is some good background information on the different types of alloys used in pistons and where they are today http://kb-silvolite.com/article.php
Just click on one of the catagories.

always go with forged so much stronger and can handle the abuse of a supercharger and a nitrous

No piston, I don't care what it's made out of, can take detonation and survive for any period of time longer than say.....2 minutes.

The hypers are finefor say a mild street car or daily driver but if you are rebuilding it and or have any serious plans in the future go with forged.

Jeep i dont think you can really put a time limit on how long it would survive but i am willing to bet not very long.
