    Good recommendation Typhoon. And Face, the 509 main caps do have a bunch more material for coverage over the journal.

    Pistons

     



    We can talk about block strength all day long but it does not mean a thing if he has the hyper. pistons.
    We use to peel the tops right off them just right above the top ring land and this was on a 400 hp stock car engine.
    I.M.O.,I would never run hyper. pistons in a blown application.

    this is true... i would never run cast or hyper pistons in a blower application.... i dont even like to run them in a stock application.... but i always build things to take WAY more abuse than they're gonna get.... but thats because i've gone the cheap route before and learned my lesson
    just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
