Although these pistons don't have oil ring buttons but a special ring that does the same job which saved 32 grams that other pistons would have added on to them. The special ring they give now only weighs 8 grams. We went with 180 wall pins weighing in at 171grams. This is a truck pulling engine so it see's 8000rpm for 80% of the run and Gary at J/E didn't want to go any lighter on the pins.

Diablo, I think you chose well. The weight of the pistons is not as important as the strength in a combo like yours! Good luck with the build. Arnie 67 Cuda 8.48@ 158.7 mph 1.18 60' 2,600 DA(so far...) 70 Super Bee 440 Six Pack 4-speed. 13.2 @ 104 Stock exhaust/Street tires.

I see that your ring-pack is way low .... also see those deep gas-ports. They are some nice looking pieces ...
