fi pistons...

are there any other good forged fi pistons for turbos besides the hellfires which go for $1100? and how much hp can they handle up to?

Re: fi pistons...

Aren't hellfire's rings?

I use Speed Pro Power forged pistons with a -22cc dish = $330

I've seen JE extreme duty forged pistons with a -31cc dish for a stroker for around $660. You could get a custom piston from JE for a couple bucks more, but nowhere near $1100. Who is selling you those?

Ditto. Another low price forged slug with decent quality is the Wiseco brand. I am a fan of JE however, have always had good luck with them (many sets over many years).

Diamond Pistons also makes several shelf pistons built for boosted applications and also has customs available should your application require them.

Re: fi pistons...

I got a smokin deal on some custom Ross pistons for my FI setup. -33cc slugs. Believe they are about $800 new with upgraded wrist pins. VERY nice product. You cant go wrong with the JE, Diamond either. But you arent gonna spend 1,100. Have heard many good things about the Hellfire rings with respect to FI. Just not known for their high mileage prowess!~

I bought Diamond's -22cc blower/turbo pistons that are rated up to 20 pounds of boost. They are made from the same aluminum as the JE blower pistons at a lower price.

That price was at Combination Motorsports. You can get the Speed Pro slugs out of Summit, or Jegs.
