Congrats to Tyler Hard who won by a few feet over Steve Comella at Etown class final after they knocked off some big names. Lets see, their combined age is less thane mine. Good job guys. Do it again next week.

I will be running Sat, just not there. Testing in Texas with R&M. Check out Reher Morrison Hemi Super Stock Dyno Pull on Youtube. Turn it up!! That's Brad Morgan giving "Thumper" a workout. Rings are overrated!

Grove should have top cars, Camos and Barton (Daniels, Hard, Wolk). I know Cake, myself and Comella are out. See ya'll at Indy if Grade 3 will get us in.

I believe that Diamond is making billet pistons. I saw one on display at Ennis a couple of years ago. It was pretty light for a Hemi piston.

yeah,, ive been running billet,, and now inboard pin forged pistons from diamond for about 6 years now,,, its more about the design of the piston,, dimensions rather than the struts,, there are a few things "wrong" with the piston in the picture

an inboard pin piston from diamond after i lighten it is about 585-600 grams at a 10.250-10.300 deck height,, westcotts millers are 550-575

The posted pics are "representative" of what can be done at Wiseco in billets. This particular part was a Xerox copy of a sample piece supplied by a very well known and respected Hemi builder. Current product won't be posted out of respect to the confidentiality our customers naturally expect.

As the person behind our billet program, I beg to differ. There are tool marks as with any billet, we just choose to have the part look more like a forging in finished form. There are some steps done during machining and heat treat that alleviate the common billet raw look on our parts.

A boxed strutted Hemi piston is hard to forge reliably due to the fact that the "finger" length of the forge punch would be too long to withstand repeated use in manufacturing. You would be lucky to get five forgings out of one run before the punch broke. We manufacture and supply others piston forgings, besides machining pistons. We are one of two companies that make their own forgings and manufacture pistons under the same roof. Most others companies buy from us or APP. If a forging ocould be made reliably we would have done this already "as forged", rather than a billet. We have customers willing to buy tooling for this project.
