well the fastest pass in an ss/ah car last year with diamond pistons was a mid 8.30,, i think fastest for millers was the same
if one was looking to buy pistons,, though i think i can offer as good as anybody,, your best bet is to goto westcott,, there are many dimensions that go into making a piston that makes power and doesnt crack or scuff the crap out of the walls,, seems like most manufacturers dont know how to do that,, but working with a racer that has made changes to make their stuff live,, is your best bet

Erik, congrats on a great weekend. I had two phone calls yesterday asking about Dave's engine builder. Now if you can talk him into making Indy!!!!
Erik's photo has been on www.hemishootout.net. Here is a file photo I have of
him from the Mopars at the Strip event in April 2012.

Thanks for the thoughts, my pistons will be coming from the same place as those pictured. When will you have your new bullet up and running?
