fast2camciv- what kinda timing are you running at 23psi? on the high cam at the high rpms and in the last column (22.9) i think mine is at 16* or so. I saw some people running some crazy numbers with the vitaras.

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
this is the compression calculator that i allways use...
http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/dcalc.htm
according to that....my y8 block, z6 head, y8 2 layer head gasket, vitara pistons, yields a compression ratio of 9.18:1

well hears the thing....at teh moment im just using a step retard of .9 (VERY conservative i know) i just built a set of "det cans" so i can more acuratly tune my timing...i do all my own tuning and timing is still sort of a mystery to me, so thats why the conservative step retard....at the moment the map that i ran 11.9 on, at 23psi, at 7500rpm im at a total timing of 6 degrees...lol. this thing has a ton more power in it with some more timing....

$138 shipped? Just think, for only $300 more you could have had some good pistons. 
If the stock d-series pistons were low compression like the vitaras I'm sure they would handle that kinda power too (300whp has been done on stock Z6 motors before by the way). ---- 250whp seems to be the norm on stock d-series motors these days, my car is ----- compared to what some people are pushing d-series motors to.

Re: Vitara Sidekick pistons
this is HMT. and i say if people wanna run a cheap setup let them. ringlands are thicker than a stock piston. they are stronger than stock. and people are doing 350hp plus on these. and i only paid 125$ shipped. beerbong when ever theres a vitara post on any site. your there to knock them. why the hate? not trying to be a dick. just wondering maybe you had a bad expierence.

these things can hang with the big dogs and this is proof.
