Who makes a really good high compression piston for the 460? What is available as far as ratios go? I'm not worried about running pump gas in the motor- just looking for what my options might be and who makes the best.
Thanks all,
Scott

 

Speedpro makes a nice set of lightweight forged pistons that with a set of trickflo heads run right at 11:1 CR, if youre willing to break from the "its gotta be forged" crowd, KB makes a Hyperutectic piston that also hits the 11:1 range that is the sister to the ones I am using in my 429CJ with alum heads, etc (DD est 550Hp) and I have no complaints about them at all (I've ran a set of KB Hypers in my Harley for the past 3 yrs now.... dynoed at 100Hp, 10.5:1 CR and ridden all over the place... plus a race or two ;-) )

 

What kind of heads do you have? I had some problems finding pistons for my 460 due to the Cobra Jet Heads. So I ended up buying Ross pistons for mine. The original CJ pistons had a D dish which came at 11.3:1. I went Flat tops and guessing mine is about 12:1 now with the bore job
