So what is everyone's piston of choice? Going to bump cubes .125 bore and throw some compression 2.5 to 3 points and figure ordering now might get me a set before Jan.. LOL Normally run Arias,Venolia or Ross. Not sure Venolia even still in business since Joe died. Ross are just freaking heavy as he11. So what piston are you running?

Probably where ever Ed Urcis is working. Over the past 25+ years I've bought pistons from Ed when he worked at Aris, JE and CP. Great service, very knowledgeable guy. Bob | |||

If I were building new, diamond right now for me personally. Most choices are just fine though I feel like | |||

most of the professional bracket engine builders are using either Diamond or Wiesco pistons which are now owned by the same company and I have both in my engines. Sunset uses CP. | |||

The last SB I built I used the same piston that was previously used in the engine....JE and they were a shelf piston Short pins, slipper skirts, round wire pin locks and narrow rings with side gas ports The engine is fast that they are in and I'm about to start building another one and will probably use the same pistons.....have a new block and heads already I used Wisecos in my own 584.....again a shelf stock Quick 16 piston.....and had Diamonds in the same engine as a 565....They were excellent.... CP's in my EFI stocker..... From what I know most of the piston companies are all owned by the same parent company......prices went way up the last few years.....wonder why ! LOL | |||

Cp was on my list of possibles a dn seems a lot here like them. Mine are anything but off the shelf. Pretty sure there is going to be a good amount of delay, which is fine since planning around it. Not going to need them till about NOV. at best. America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||

I have used them all including Ross. Never had a piston problem that wasn't caused by something else including the tune. Foxtrot Juliet Bravo | |||

Is this for the hemi? I wouldn't think that any of the people mentioned are gonna wanna screw with a custom hemi piston. Call BAE | |||

Only one has said they wouldn't have anything. Only thing really custom is pin location. They liked being able to leave extra meat in valve reliefs and me fly cutting to fit. America home of free. Brought to you by 2nd amendment. | |||

CP has been building fast Hemi pistons for years. TAFC and Digger. https://www.cp-carrillo.com/n-...er-hemi-engines.html Nothing wrong with BAE or others by the way,This message has been edited. Last edited by: BP758, California Screaming! Raceless in California! | |||

I had great luck with Ross in my TD engine. They just didn't give up, had literally hundreds of passes on them at 25-30# boost and 8000-8400 RPM and they were ready for more. Current owner of the engine has put many more passes on it and they still look good. They are hard anodized, maybe that is one reason they are so durable.... 272" Spitzer 540 Chevy The Blower Shop XR1 FTI XPM Series Converter FTI Level 6 Powerglide 3.69@199 .916 60' 2017 Bradenton Heads Up Madness Open Outlaw Champ 2018 PDRA T/D #5 2019 PDRA T/D #2 2020 Retired From T/D Competition.... 2020 Bradenton NMCA Hemi Shootout Winner 2021 getting back into bracket racing with a Gen3 Hemi powered 87 Cutlass. | |||
