He trusted Diamond to build pistons per NHRA as they were a approved vendor.
We built a 392 last year but chose not to run it because there was no approved piston. We were told that if we ran a standard bore size it would have passed as a factory piston. But since we bored it out there was no way it would pass because there was no approved piston listed.
