Custom pistons....Best? Price?Quality? - 02/03/09 08:25 AM
I'm going to need to get pistons soon. I have never ordered custom pistons. I would like to know who you guys like and why, who has the most reasonable prices, and who has the best tech line for help and ordering.
Thanks

JE
Just ask the guys that build prostock motors.
Well worth the extra $300-400 over other forged
pistons.

Diamond is probably the most "user friendly" to order customs from if you buy direct & not through a dealer.

We really liked our Diamond (shelf) pistons for the 493. We have a set of custom Diamond pistons ordered for the new motor.

The more options you want, the more they are going to cost per piston. I am a Diamond dealer and really like their products. Had bad results with some other brands. You are not going to save a bunch of money here, with one company. Diamond, JE, Venolia, CP, any of the top companies, the pistons are going to cost close to the same. You just have to find a company, or dealer that you are comfortable with and go with them.

Hello Monte,
noticed you did not list Mahle. I though they were in the top?
