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 |
