Default Where to get High Compression pistons for 0-360??

Looking for some 9.5 or 10 pistons for a 0-360, where is the best place to find them?

Thanks, Lance

Lycon NFS pistons.

About 8 years ago, Performance Engines got my pistons from the above.

Depending on where you are located, BPE (a VAF supporter with a great reputation) may be able to get what you want as they also do custom engines.

Default Oh Man!

Lust is a terrible thing. I looked at the websites posted earlier they almost make you wish your engine would wear out. A couple of years ago I contacted Barrett Precision Engines that advertise at this site. People around here swear by them - it would not hurt to click on their button and ask for feedback on your specific plans.

Try Klaus Savier at LightSpeed Engineering. He provides FORGED pistons for many engine makes, and his pistons are used by many who have gotten great engine performance increase!
