I started using them for my builds and have been pleased with them. Better tolerances than some of the big name pistons I used in the past. Keith
Can you tell me which "big name" pistons you thought they were better than? The ones I've used were machined more like an entry level piston and priced that way as well. I might've had my hopes too high though in regards to things like ring land finish, skirt thickness, Ring belt thickness and a few other things. I guess they're okay and will run, they in no way compare to Diamond or CP. Keep in mind this was a year or so ago, so maybe things have changed since then.

My shop uses them in alot of different applications. A custom piston is 650 from them, which seems very dang reasonable to me. This shop build numerous late model, outlaw mod, b mod, some 410 sprints, etc motors. They use the racetecs in all classes. They also have a alky hemi puller. That motor has racetecs in it as well. They seem like a nice piston for the $$$.
72 RR, Pump gas 440, 452s, 3800 lbs, Corked, ET Radials,. 11.33@117.72.
Same car, bone stock 346s, 9.5 comp, baby solid. 12.24@110.

What RA finish are you looking for and what ra are they machined at? And how are you checking it?
