What I was told was much different many dealers and shops told me to stay with cast pistons... Many issues I was told with the forged pistons since they have more issues with heat. Some really high end shops told me to build a moter off cast pistons

Sucks to hear that your crank got f*&Ked up, but after you get it beefed up it will be solid. I like the looks of 114hp! What kind of head work do you have done? What size cam?

Forged will take one helluva punishment that would destroy a cast piston.
Plus... cast pistons are only made for 88, 95, 96 and 103 sizes. ANY other size will be forged anyways. (110 pistons can be had cast... but I coud never recommend one do a 110 build, ends up being a bad deal all around. 113 is MUCH better, same with 107 and 117 builds.

I wanted at least 110 and shes got 113hp/118tq SAE w/ 5 smoothing & 6th gear pull.
This was not a tune, just dyno. She flat lines at around 5,600, which i'm not happy about, but a bigger throttle body, injectors, & head runners will solve that(running stock t-body and intake runners in heads for now).

I don't think he has any headwork done yet Kirby
Maybe I misread his build....not a 585 fan for sure but they sure idle right

he`s got my headwork,this is the guy that went on & on about me leaving the port opening stock,instead of going 1.760 (even though he was running the stock t. body).dont think it turned out too shabby for not being tuned yet
