Just got my new SRP pistons in from the brown suited santi claus. They're very nice units. Billet cut tops, very impressive. These are .060 over for 454, 12.7:1 compression...

Those are some intimidating slugs you got there :D
Nice! :cool:
How tall are those domes?

I still think they should be used as a wall decoration, they're so damned good looking! :D

Sean,what are you doing with the old pistons? Email me

pdq67 Ha! I was thinking more like wind chimes so you can see them 3D. :D

Anyways, not a whole lot of point to this post other than I was really pleased with SRP's quality, and the price of $490.00.

I likem :cool:

Where did you find them for $490? I priced some and they were about $550..

I'm not sure why they were $60 cheaper then their regular ones, since I'm sure they don't sell a huge amount of them, but they are. I picked them up from Jegs.

Nice looking pieces.

Maybe Mike (Wolfplace), BillK or others can give their opinions on this...

My custom Venolia pistons had the domes hand massaged with a die grinder and cartidge roll to gently round all the sharp edges off so their now a nice round edge. I believe this helps ward off pre-ignition from potential hot spots. My pistons are also thermal coated on the domes and dry film coated on the skirts...might be worth looking into.

Todd,
The radiusing on the dome edges is indeed to
help eliminate hot spots and promote better
flame travel, thus a more efficient and complete
burn.

Look too nice to get dirty. Did you buy nine so you could always have one as a conversation piece?

Boy, those looks awfully familiar, Rich... :D Nice pieces, huh? graemlins/beers.gif

Mine are 427 slugs (.030 over) so probably weigh a bit less than yours but they do look about the same. I'm running open chamber heads so I should end up in the 10:1 territory. They are darn purdy!

They sure were hard to find in a 427 configuration. I had a few hyper piston options, but I kept looking until I found these forged items. Speed Pro also had a set of forged, but they were quite a bit more heavy and certainly no cheaper. And no one had the Speed Pros in stock anyway so they were not really an option.
