I have had these pistons for many years and the rotating assembly has be balanced with these pistons. I would probably have to add Mallory metal to the crank if I go with forged pistons.

So if anyone has any real life experience with these pistons in a Hemi, I would like to hear from you. Pros and cons.



Snoopy, KB Hypers are not bad pistons. Actually they are real good if you install em according to the specs.

I have a set of those on my 360 engine thats basically a stock rebuild with 10:1 compression and a little street cam.

On the other hand, on my HEMI I have Diamond Racing forged pistons.

Get my drift???

On a HEMI you dont want to cut corners on pistons....its an epensive HEMI, if something goes wrong it will be an expensive mistake and you will be banging your head against the wall. You dont want to cut corners on the shortblock.

If you put hypers on it will be something that will bug you always and will be on the back of your head everytime you want to floor that beast a little bit.

GOOD FORGED = PEACE OF MIND.
