Affordable Piston Good For Atleast 500hp and 6500 rpm...Any Ideas??
Like the title says i am looking for a piston that is easily capable of handling atleast 500hp at 6500rpm without going broke in my checking account...LoL! I am also looking for something either in the Flat top or Domed sort to keep the CR as high as possible. and also please share your opinion on what I need for the application hyper or forged and the price of what in your opinion is the best bang for the buck in both metals. and also if you have a moment after all this to maybe give me "estimated" HP for the engine. Thanks for reading this guys and now to the good stuff!!!!!
heres what i got going on so far:
sbc 350 +40 decked to 9.000"
Scat Pro Comp Lightend Cast Steel crank 9-350-3480-5700
Scat 4340 6" Lightweight Rod 2-icr6000p
Comp Cams XE 284-296 dur 507-510 lift w/hyd lifters CL12-250-3
Comp Cams Magnum Pushrods
Crane Cams Energizer Roller Rockers
Edlebrock Performer RPM 70cc Aluminum Fully Assembled Heads
Edlebrock Victor Jr. Intake
800 Holley Carb

I don't know what your cam specs. are at .050 but I would guess that 800 cfm is to large on carb size.

I agree that SRP forged pistons are your best buy. I run them in my 383.
As an FYI, you're going to have a hard time making 500 hp with those Edelbrock heads. You may want to step up to AFR 195's or Race Rites. Remember that the heads and their breathing capacity is where the hp is.Last edited by rumrumm; 10-03-2007 at 07:13 AM.

They don't flow well enough out of the box to make that kind of hp. Has he had porting work done on them? Originally Posted by DaLowRyda

To make over 500 hp out of a 350 you would need a very good hyd. roller cam or a small street mech. and a set of 195 cc CNC'D AFR heads. Originally Posted by rumrumm

Try a lighter piston and pin combination.... I like the Probe's and sometimes even aluminum rods on small inch engines... Not sure how good a Probe works in a chebbie, sure have had good luck with them in Windsor's though!!!!! Originally Posted by gassersrule_196

Your buddy has the same heads?
Got to watch what your "buddys" say they have. I know a guy who built the identical motor his cousin has, 350 twin turbo and all the parts are supposily identical, only differnece is one runs 8sec in 1/4 and the other runs 9.8 in 1/4. He aint gonna tell you exactly what he has, then the race would be too close!

well I decided to do another mod to gain max travel of bars past the intended travel points just for that peace of mind. 1/8 inch is to close so now I'll have 1/2" or better. I cut a 3/16" wall...
