I hate to burst your bubble, but when I was getting ready to build my "stocker" engine the VERY well known builder I called quoted me $95.00 each for the "boxed stocker" pistons or if I wanted to be competitive, $145.00 each for the same pistons but lightened.....confused me, so I am still on the fence,almost $1200.00 just for pistons.....

when it comes to HP ratings make sure you ask IHRA what your combos HP is. They are not always the same. My HP rating with NHRA is 299 and its 295 with IHRA. Ed

You cannot alter pin or ring location, no excessive lightening, no thin ring package must have correct approved # on top of piston.must have same configuration as oem along with same weight as original. pins may be shortened if using full floating option
