FFWD Piston Coating

[sniperelite]

Has anyone had experience with or seen these coatings? FFWD Connection - Race Injuns That Will Freeze Your Brain

It seems like it would be a nice thing to get when I get a set of new pistons for my build. And $160 doesn't seem bad for faster revving, more power, and better longevity as stated by FFWD. What do you guys think?

If youve got the extra cash its definately worth having. It keeps your engine running a lot cooler and helps keep the pistons lubrcated with oil. I know very reliable engine builders that wont build an engine without it.

I say go for it. More power and longevity for $160, not a bad deal

I really don't know why more people dont get parts or coatings or machine work done from FFWD it seems like they know what they are doing and aren't that bad at pricing either.

I just dropped 3 grand there.

Coating's are definately worth it. If you wanted to get crazy you could even coat the combustion chamber and the faces of your valves to keep all the heat in the chamber (most of it anyway), every pro race team is doing this now, from ARCA to F1.

Ya, I am sending an email to darren right now about everything i plan to do for my next build. I am expecting to spend around 7 grand all together.

is it really needed tho? i mean if your asking about it- your not too sure...
what are your goals? and have others done them without extra expenses such as this?

Seeing as hes spending 7 grand I would assume hes going to need it and $160 is a small price to pay for all the added benefits.

Yeah, there's really no downside to it, except cost. Even coated bearing's are becoming more and more popular.

I have Darren's S.O.B. coating on my Ross Piston 7-bolt stroker setup.

I also picked up my stroker butcher crank, bearings and pistons, the coating and cryotreating.

Money well spent.

I have had great luck with my FFWD Connection parts purchased over the years.

There you guys have it....put to the test and twicks was able to break 9's with the help of their coatings

I just ordered a 6 bolt stroker xp shortblock for my 2G from ffwd. The price was reasonable, & I know it will be trouble free. They seem to have the best, most comprehensive building programs, based on what else I`ve seen around for the 4g63 turbo . . .
