I debated quite a bit about fingers Pistons, but decided forged would be better if I ever decide to throw some more power at it of spray it. In fact, my motor is the first running motor with CP's new piston design.

How much more power could you possibly throw at it that a fingers piston hasnt already seen.
Mine doesn't like to start in anything under 40* 16.5.1 fingers cast Pistons with rings filed. Also have both batteries and glow plugs (controller isn't working though) but with the rings filed I have a quite a bit of blow by.
What compression ratio? I'm sure it's the less compression that makes mine and Caden's little harder to start. I do know after the rings set and get a few miles on it mine would start a little easer in cold weather.
No. It's lower yes but I'm talking about his being forged and my rings being filed. I have a lot of blow by on my truck from the rings being filed. I have a buddy with 15.1 and his starts up easier than mine with zero blow by.
Mine is 16.5 my rings are filed for some extra clearance with mahle cast pistons and mine starts fine at 21* not plugged in smokes white for bout 30 seconds I did cold start it at 0 once lol it wasn't happy :rofl:
Tuning at idle makes a difference in smoke and start up
Tuning at idle makes a difference in smoke and start up
Should be fine mike I think Caden is just because of forged pistons? But I'm not around it to hear or see it start
It's not that. IMO forged are more proven. I've never actually see one crack other than a freak accident. Same thing with fingers, but forged have been around for a longer time.

I got to dyno it yesterday. Was very last minute notice (was driving home and saw the Facebook link). It was a local event, I was the only diesel.
The dyno was brand new, and the owner only could put a 20% load on it. Was a bit tricky trying to judge the load plus my brake load haha. The numbers are also uncorrected, hell idk if the dyno was even calibrated. I was just glad the owner let me run it inside his shop with my stack

What's the difference between the max power number (highlighted green) and the max engine power? Rwhp vs what they calculate at the crank?
