    Pistons are $350.00 (normally $479.99)
    Pins are $80.00, (normally $100.00)

    This applies to both the stock bore and .020" over pistons. I only have one set of the pins, so if the second buyer needed a set, they would be full price.

      The hypereutectic are a cast aluminum mixed with silicon. The silicon makes them tough, hard to machine and heat resistant, they don't expand as much as other aluminum alloys. When they fail they come apart. These can fit tightest in the bore.
      Forged pistons are a normaly a 2xxx alloy,of aluminum and copper (stay away form the magnesium alloys unless you are building a all motor or alcohol car) . They make air craft wings out of it some times. It realy resists cracking and deforming. It also likes to conduct heat. Forged piston have a plastic deformation thresh hold where they will warp and ruin your bore.

        you might wanna throw in some useful information to most people ....

        hypersplosive pistons and N2O dont get along at all... they tend to shatter with very little crack

          will I be able to run a 50-75 HP shot of N20 theoretically speaking, or is that even too much? Hyperplosive pistons btw, are they the same as the Speed Pro Hypereutectic pistons. in my opinion, forged cost too much.

            yes hypersplosive and hypereutetic are the same

            ive heard of people that blew them on a V8 with a 100 shot.. not sure if they did anything else wrong or any other factors that might have influenced it..... i wouldnt spray any ammount with them personally

              The heat treated cast hypereutetic pistons are a lot stronger then stock cast.
              If you use them and you ping while on the spary you die.
