anyone know where to get some cheap(er) forged pistons for a 350 .060 over for a 3.75 stroke and 6 inch rod?

archemedes

forged no, but check hypereutectic they are almost as strong as forged, and the engine will last longer since they are more dimensionaly sound (forged will grow and shrink) alot of guys are running boost, and nitrous on hypers with no problems

I always heard hypereutectic suck for boost and juice, I mean that is what the LT1's came with stock so it cannot be that good.

archemedes

almost all engines today use hyper I have them in my drag car and have had no problems and we got stupid with juice (got tired of rebuilds from teh forged scuffing the cylinder)

u have a drag car?

archemedes

yeah engines now in a pick up I co own it with a friend of mine, it's a '79 cutlass . No cage so no official passes just a ton of tuning ones was in the 10's with nitrous with just a 350 it's really funny in the truck when we first put it in there (friend needed something street legal) we drove it with the solid cam (and no power brakes from lack of vaccuum) and decided to go with a bit smaller cam we had.The motor has been in 5 different vehicles with the only changes being cam

well i here that hypers are bad for juice because they are so brittle. a little detonation and they are done with. how much do u think hypers will hold with n2o... i was thinking like 200 shot maybe 250 when i get the motor running right.

archemedes

look at that thing I posted in the car talk, says they will hold 1000 hp, and are stronger than forged at temps.The big thing is because they run hotter they need the tune correct, too many people slap a bottle on and go and don't know why it broke

I have a set of 6.0 rods and .030 pistons brand new if you are intested...
