Guest Grenade300 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Of all the info I have seen, TRW (now called Speed Pro) pistons are some of the better pistons on the market. I believe that these should definitely hold up to almost whatever you throw at 'em. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMAHAWKZ Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 dude the trw's are nice pistons but they are heavy. if you are going to put nitrous on the motor and you want it to last, build the engine for nitrous, it may seem expensive at first but how much does it cost to pull it back out and do over. ross racing pistons or j&e make some nice units which are lighter weight and purpose designed to handle nitrous. lighter pistons will allow for better rev's= more hp's as far as rods go I would stay away from aluminum rods on a street car not worth the investment, a good quality h beam rod should handle what you have in mind. scat performance products makes some nice units. also you can get the rods and pistons on ebay brand new from some distributors for decent prices. OH dont forget to get the whole mess balanced its cheap and its worth it. TOMAHAWKZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
