Piston recommendations?
Hi,
Just trying to slam together my new motor before the end of the month. With the combination I am running, are stock pistons ok? Someone said that with the Nitrous I should be going with Forged Pistons? Is this Necessary? The other option is to have them Ceramic Coated... is that a good idea?
can anyone point me at a "Kit" that gives me everything including pistons rings, gaskets etc... for the whole engine? Prefer to have the option to upgrade to Forged if thats necessary. I can get the stock engine kit from Clay for $1050, unfortunately can't upgrade piston type.

I would recommend sending the stock pistons to WOP and have them machine the lip off.
What power level are you chasing? I would ceramic coat them and get teflon on the side skirts..
Or look into having them Akadized. That's what i'm gonna use on my cummins pistons

It would be best to start a new thread for this, but it sounds like you have a failed o-ring in one or more of your fuel injectors which is allowing high pressure oil to bleed into the fuel rail and from there it goes back to the fuel tank.

Not sure what Akadized. I can't send to WOP, as I am in Canada and don't have the time to send to there. Are you just talking about "Rounding" out that sharp edge on the edge of the dish?

Yes. Machining the bowl to minimize stress cracks.
