Does anybody make 426 Hemi pistons lighter than 800 grams?

Assuming stock stroke, what static CR? What valve relief?

Stock CR, stock stroke, stock rings, stock valve reliefs, pretty much stock. Looking at what's available as a stock replacement lighter than the typical 800+ gram pistons.

That's there is funny.....Assuming they did make pistons that light for a G2, it would be Diamond.

They are older but my Ross 110548 pistons for 10 to 1 comp 4.15 stroke weighted 774gm. They were 30 over. Ross tech was really great at providing me all the build spec used for this order. So you could call or email and see what they have.

More piston weight is more parasitic drag on the rotating assembly. My block has to be bored so I might as well try to find some lighter pistons. It'll all have to be re-balanced anyway so.......

I think todays pistons are a big reason that a Ray Barton 528 make 800 horsepower instead of 425. The longer stroke makes the piston dome shorter. (Probably better for flow.) The narrow/low tension rings. The light weight. I forgot but I think a stock piston is over 900 grams. Stuff today is just mo better.

These are my CP's. Would probably be under 700 with less dome.

the compression height needed with a stock stroke means a little extra material.

Stroker pistons are shorter, and save alot of weight.

These are 693.3 grams with a 176.1 gram wrist pin.

I think they are Indy street crate engine pistons, but not 100% sure.
I got them from a guy located near Nashville, great price, great quality.
