They're still cast pistons, nothing special over OEM parts.

the pistons are holding up really good...they are only temp until i can afford some forged ones...and no the block isnt stolen i got it out of my friends car and he had grinded the code off of it...all in all everythings workin good, goin to the track tonight but its a shitty one so im not expectin anything to good but i'll keep yall posted

Unless you can contact the company and have them tell you why these pistons are better than OEM, I'd just ave up the 250 dollars more and get some SRP pistons.

That's pretty good power on a fairly simple setup.

Nice job.
