Like I stated many times over CP pistons are awesome! Most of these guys get on here and run their john brown about how cp is not a turbo piston and they only made pistons for NA back in the day. The key statement is BACK IN THE DAY. Times have changed just like back in the day weiseco was the worst piston IMO because of experience to run in a honda b-series engine because of this experience they are not my choice and never will be but some of these guys that will chime in on my thread and bash my choice of piston that I purchased with my own money that's just plain stupid. Thanks ceedawg for that link! If I had asked wether I should use CP then that's a different story
. Cp is a custom piston manufactorer and as explained by them they only make pistons to specs by vendors request. That is why race engineering 4g63 pistons differ from slow boy and slow boy pistons differ from brian crower and so on and so on. CP made my pistons to my specification . A job number was assigned to my specific order. I had the works put into the piston. they in turn sent me a spec sheet with all these freaking measurments on it just in case I wanted to send it to another piston maker they can give me something similar. compression ratio was also spec according to my liking 9:5 to 1 valve pocket cut was my custom spec and so on and so on. Now here is the thing if the piston hits the valve it not cp fault its mine because I didn't calculate the valve pocket to be cut deep enought hey I take the blame. The wrist pin broke hey I should have told them what my Hp goals were in the begining I would have gotten the pin to suit my applications.
To sum it up people chose what they are comfortable with in my case its CP

well if it benefit the board let me say this I have run just about every head gasket out there as seen in this pic from mitsu mls ,felpro permatorque ,cometic and the Freaking list goes on all ran with maperformance h11 studs still push coolant despite claims of sealing like no other so I spent months studying head gaskets and type. Long story short the only one that solved the issue was the Hks stopper with the h11 studs. I have built several engines for others with same success as mine. Coolant push when detonation occurs the stopper gasket handles u.expected detonation well witch save from knocking original seal of headgasket loose. So to answer your question Hks 1.6mm stopper ftw!
when My current build is done I am going to dyno in two stages first I am gonna try and break that cyclone record
