Pretty sure the tune on a 1000hp engine is pretty conservative and designed to not rattle the pistons regardless.

But go ahead, run cheap pistons in a cheap build and be sure to share the results.


Ok, I just might.
Harder also means more brittle in most cases.

Still doesn’t answer my question.
Are the speed pro performance pistons weaker than a stock LS Hyper?

If not, many somebody’s are throwing away money and increasing cylinder wear on their street cars.
