Caden. seriously. dude...... you need to give up you're never happy with any of the answers you are given. Please stop asking these questions over and over and over again fingers cast pistons have proven themselves end of story you'll hate having to re ring a engine once a year that's alot of money to tear the engine down every year. Run fingers cast or run cp's stop asking let us know when you actually build your motor......:thumb:

Lol look it up on Facebook. It's not me, it's a company that throws dyno days at diesel shops.

CP piston looks very close to a Wiseco piston from the looks of it, almost a straight copy.

Wiseco is recommending these forged pistons for street use now. Apparently some are running on the street with good results.

I have not broken a crank with the SoCal A/F cam yet. I broke a crank most every season before using them. I have run forged pistons for years, have seen some ring/land issues after a hard season but never had a failure.

Verlon runs the fingers pistons and also won the finals this year. Tows, beats the snot out of it on the street and track. He averages 800-900hp all the time, not that impressive unless you know what he does to his trucks on a daily basis.

I have around 50k miles on my oval setup at this point. I daily drive the truck on a 800+ hp tune. It is the same tune I run the 11.90 class with. I have also found that it tows at that horsepower level with ease with my current turbo setup. I think these pistons have proven themselves to be top performers in high horsepower applications. Will see what they look like in January when I have the motor torn down to do a refresh.

I am really not sure what people mean when they say I beat the snot out of my truck. ;) I built the motor for a reason and I have fun in my truck every single day. On a side note though, I have only dyno'd 1100hp.

Ummm, yes and no. Nitrous is hard cause of the heat generate from it but as far as over all pressure applied to the piston I'd have to disagree with that one unless you are spraying it in the same rpm range as we are loading the motor fuel only. We have logs of Brett's truck dropping back down to 1975rpms on the shift and pulling all the way back up through the rpm range which is far more load on the piston than a motor being sprayed and never dropping below 3000rpms. With nitrous you are supplying the extra oxygen that your turbos are not providing so it plays a big part in how you are able to tune it. At the end of the day breaking a piston is a big difference than melting one from heat, agreed? Torque is what usually breaks shit.

I wont be surprised if I loose a piston by the end of this winter, stock 145k mile cut LB7 pistons are in mine, stock cam as well. I am an absolute asshole to my engine, every time I drive it it's at WOT once or twice :roflmao: plenty of "testing" of the bottle on the street as well. 20+ bottles ran through it.

I have another block and crank I picked up for 150$ that is going to the machine shop and going to start another shortblock build for build #2.

Really?

For a guy with strong opinions, you missed engines 101 class.

Shit... They have a class for that ?

I build custom engines for a living and had a guy that was applying to assist me come spend 3 days on job with me. I asked him to leave after he insisted I was wasting my time ringing pistons so precisely, it doesn't matter which way you orientate the rings and that compression rings were interchangeable.

Sorry. Off topic for a minute

I want to yank the cam out of my built motor and swap for an alt cam and throw it back into my truck. I missed having 1150+hp in my daily driver, 660hp is slow!!!:roflmao:
