Default Re: custom pistons

-------First of all, why the H-beams??? My old LS6 race-car (a record holder in its day) never had any thing in it for its entire history other than the original dimple-rods. Final engine when sold had 14to1 compression, and never a hint of failure. Ran low 10s at a weight of 3950 going off. My opinion,,,stick with the dimples!!!
-------On the pistons; If you cant figure out a way to keep the standard bore and cant find a set of 20s then go to the 30s and balance the entire rotating assembly, including the clutch, and even the driveshaft if there is a hint of a question-mark. Personally I dont think you need floaters on the street the way you say you are going to use it. Racing stuff on the street is vastly over rated. You wouldnt be happy with the piston slap when cold, at least I wouldnt. Hope this helps.........Bill S
