Like the proposed low cr iron headed stroker will even know the difference between the .990 pin vs 1.094 pin.
And just to be argumentative.......
Just need to be careful in how you choose to pick your catalog data. Catalogs are generally not a great source for this info. Using catalog info, you could also conclude that there is only a total of 5 grams difference and that's using the same length pins. But I don't necessarily believe that either.
The question simply comes to this, all else being equal, do you really think that piston and rod manufacturers are actually forging and machining different pistons and rods (obviously not including the pin holes) based on a 0.990 verses a 1.094 pin?
The weight of materials is well established, and the math is simple.
I do agree that thinking strategically on the overall combination, coupled with shopping for the parts with an eye to parts specifications can yield meaningful weight savings.
