Re: light weight pistons

I'd be more concerned with strength and not weight. Definitely forged, but you already knew that

Search around on nitrous pistons, I forget exactly what it is, but a nitrous piston I believe has the ring package further down to make the piston stronger up top...something like that, I've seen it around on here before.
