My first stage 2 motor had Calico Coatings apply their dry film lubricants and coatings to it. Literally everything that they can do to a NASCAR motor was done to it. I would be interested in knowing how the Swain Tech coatings last in an ultra hi po motor. I mean over time will it start to flake away or break down from the heat, pressure and fuels used.

Ceramic engineer Dan Swain developed the first successful ceramic thermal barrier coating for internal engine use . They were using his coatings in NASCAR in the late 70's , and formed Swain Tech 1981 , 16 yrs before Calico Coatings was formed . Check their site out , lots of good articles . swaintech.com

How much do you think this would affect the balance of the rotating assembly if I were to reuse the stock pistons on stock rods with new rings?
