I will need those exact pistons! .. except.. FLAT TOP..lol.. you went too low on compression.. I say that with confidence. Only hurts you in the fact that you're leaving power under the curve / spool time, on the table. Still sexy!

96% for 12 hp so your shooting for 12.5 hp I'm sure those CV's must be terrified .
are you using the fancy lock bolts on the CV's ??
we'd like to see some pics of how it failed ...
I still think i tie rod from the bottom of the gear box to the rear rail will help save CV's as one gets stretched and one compressed ...

we still have to finsish off our season with the current engine, otherwise i will be moved up a class and loose points. We are planning on installing late this year. i will let you guys know how it all goes

100.5mm sorry about that Adam and 95one.
they are 11.0:1 CR 8v but they are made for a 3ltr crank to up the capacity. standard length rods. alusil compatible coating

BTW - If anybody wants some 'odd' pistons Wossner has been making custom pistons for me for quite a while. I just had a set made up for Chevy wrist pins diameter and a relocated position.
I made up a set with the crown .040’ outside the deck and a flat top with a very thick crown – the customer wanted to machine his own bowl to perfectly match his combustion chambers.
Anything is possible!

They seem very willing to work with the customer / builder.

yeah you better Adam, its been a while since ive seen what you have been up to. how about an update from you.
i cant use this engine until we finish this season so no need to rush. I did spec these pistons to use stock 944 S2 rings as i prefer the larger rings and the oil ring design.
