Re: Stocker Pistons....Pontiac

But heck, since your running a turbo charged stocker, you might want to run a thicker / heavier piston with the ring groves moved down an extra hundred thou (or more) to better survive the higher than stock boost you have to run to go so far under the index. As a former turo-racer myself, I know how much an extra 10 or 15 pounds of boost can make! Oh, I guess I shouldn't bring that up... You should mention that in your challenge. You'll run stock boost (what is that on a 301, 4#'s?)....I'll have NHRA legal rockers and the corporate rear end that's allowed by every other stocker thank you. And yes, I'll be glad to race you against our indexes. You can do it with stock boost or peg the boost gauge boost. Make it two out of three and steam coming out of your head gaskets or milky oil disqualifies you I just hope we have a local track still open

Re: Stocker Pistons....Pontiac
Jeffy, Jeffy, Jeffy,,,,,, As a "former Turo racer myself" you should know that boost isn't everything.... it's a measure of restriction !!!! too much boost and you go slower,,, Factory was 6-9 Lbs. and I'm not running much more than that !!!!!!!!! so Bring it

Re: Stocker Pistons....Pontiac
Boys, Boys, Boys........Can't we all just get along??????
This is a question for Brent..... I didn't see a part number on the TRW pistons that you planned on running????? I don't know combo you want to run, but for a 400 the only legal TRW is a TRW L2440 Just thought that I would ask............. Bob
