Hi, I need more information on which piston to run in this 4.1 (291 block) im having built. I've seen guys using the hypers which is what I'm considering too, but i don't seem to know how reliable those things are gonna be
Im just not lookin to spend a bunch of money on custom forged pistons if i can be fine running the h471p's. I know they may work ok but haven't seen much feedback on expected longevity or reliability of them. When its done, the setups gonna have te49,3300 stall,alky for starters. I already have pretty much everything else covered int the fuel pump, injectors,exhaust department. I'm mainly focused also on getting a really good tune for it using plx wideband, scanmaster,and translator. I feel like if i get it running PROPERLY that the hypers should be ok. O only plan on running up to 25lbs probably since its only gonna be a mildly built motor. I know my choices are slim probably, i just dont feel confident goin with the 471p's since they were never really MADE for a turbo application. I know there are other areas on the 4.1 to focus on beefin up so im just goin arp rod bolts, arp main studs, and countersunk the deck for the arp head bolts. Any input would be greatly appreciated, just looking for some opinoons from people that might have run a similar setup before.
