What pistons does everyone run in their race engines?
A reputable source tells me that I need forged pistons and to not use anything else. I know two guys that run 914-4s here in Colorado vintage racing that use the AA pistons, and they said that both of their cars have run 5 seasons with no work required to the lower end. AND they are running 10:1 CR and E85 fuel. This engine will be very close to stock 4-cyl 2.0L with a Raby race cam package and 40 IDFs. Thoughts? Stu |

I use JE forged pistons in a 6 cylinder motor, and have been happy!
I see on LN's website JE pistons sell for $920 for a set. LN Engineering |
