5.85 rod and blower pistons
I have been on the phone with a few piston manufactures and nobody stocks the pistons I need. Im not ready to have a $900 set of pistons custom made again. The best luck I have had was with speed pro. They have a set of light weight race piston for a 5.85 rod net 8.4:1 comp, however I need .040 over. They offer .030 and .060. Not sure I want to go .060 over on my block. Anyone know of a shop that stocks good dished pistons for a 5.85 rod and .040 over? Or a company that has a "shelf" piston for what I need?
