Greetings:
I've searched for information to this question, on this site for weeks, and _still_ havn't come up with a solution. I blew my semi built engine dsmlink's dyno plugin was saying 544whp @ 5700rpm. still havnt pulled the engine, but #2 rod/piston is trash. Block has a 4" round hole out the back, etc.. etc.. here's where my question comes in.
I was running wiseco hd1400, 9:1 pistons, on reconditioned rods. arp bolts, resized, peaned, bushed for floating wristpins. My new engine at the machine shop (will take them 1 to 2 months just to tank, magnaflux m y new block/crank, so I have some time. WILL be running Manley 7 bolt H Beam rods, polished virgin crank, but I am leaning towards Manley 10:1 E85, Sport compact pistons. If not!!! 10:1 JE pistons. Don't know why these 2 brands are in the finals.... just from the research ive done.
What piston would YOU run??? I don't have, right now, goals for anything greater than 600hp.. not awhp, just ~600 at the crank. Notice the "right now". Ive read wiseco pistons fail, JE's are manufactured at the same facility as Wiseco…. I AM on a budget (hence, H Beam rods), but please leave me know, which piston you would run? and mebbe, Why? Ive heard pro's and con's on them all... especially wiseco…
I will be dyno tuning this setup.
billet gt35r wheel, 9 blade turbine wheel, rebuilt FP Red.
fic 1800cc injectors.

everything in my profile's either still there, or upgraded.
thanks everyone!!!!!
