I was gonna recommend them in another "budget build" thread but after seeing the price I did not. I bought my set- .030 over new in 2004 for $160. Glad I did. (I make a little less money now as well) I dont want to see what a set of lightweight forged pistons are. I feel like saying: "Back in my day we built a car with $48 and a crescent wrench" Keep old mopars alive.

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it. JB Rhinehart, Realist A-Body's RULE!
