Now that I have 1200 miles on it its getting boosted. I just finished up my Down pipe today.

BTW Also if you watched the intranats for the last couple years, you'll recall that CP recently "improved" their Honda pistons. Realisticly it was a FIX for MASSIVE PISTON MELT-DOWN because they never removed the slivers by the intake reliefs. And I mean 3-4 pistons would melt all the way to the ringpack at the valve relief, regardless of ignition timing. Their official position was that leaky valve stem seals were the cause by introducing hot-burning oil. Oddly enough, that so-called improvement stopped those melt-downs, and everyone forgets now. I trust CP pistons as far as I can throw them their Laser measuring machine.
As for other brands like Arias and JE, you can't go wrong if the locals offer support for them. Arias are known for iffy rings, and JE has a checkered history overall but good pistons.

Way before CP's claim-to-fame of laser measuring bullshit. Wiseco's are cheaper because thier OTS pistons aren't the 'advanced' design that OTS CP's are, although anything you order custom is an advanced strutted design like CP. Both can be ordered with an upgraded wrist pin, a good idea for >700hp.
