FastmOp OP master Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 5,762 Hot Rod Ridge	I need a set of pistons for my new turbo short block and was trying to get an idea of what I need. I know the bore is 4.5 and I want to upgrade the strength of the wrist pin wile still keeping it a .990 (Chevy size) pin. I would also like a thermal barrier on the top. I also need roller valve pockets to clear .750 lift. And would like the top ring down to increase the strength. I'm thinking J&E but if I could get what I need in a less expensive brand I would consider it. If any site sponsor is interested in quoting me a price please PM me.

Asked me to fill out the form on the Web site and fax it to him lol I had just got off the phone with the ross guy and he covered every aspect conceivable. Prolly just use them now.
