Stock Pistons....

Post by Ej22TIM »

alright, plans have yet again changed for my build. wisecos may be out the window for the time being due to my finances. my question is:

Who makes a piston for the standard bore?

would just getting my pistons coated be good for around 260 whp?

I really just need to get the car back on the road, I know there will be talk of "do it right the first time" but im really not going for 500whp I just want to run a vf39 and have a pretty stout dd/sleeper.

what do you guys reccommend for a piston setup aside from a wiseco or one non standard bore?
