Those are nice. Not sure I would do a 2618 piston in a car driven as much as yours though

 

[W3bb3r04]

It won't be driven as much now but what are my options? I don't see many

Not a lot of 4032 piston options for that compression.

 

[W3bb3r04]

Yeah and I really don't want to run sub 9:1 at all. I think I'll just go with the 2618 flat tops. I doubt I'll drive it as much this year, especially moving over to E85

There are a few 9.5-8:1 options and you could always mill the heads to bump it up.

Got most of the powder coat stuff back today! Still waiting on ceramic coat stuff.

I don't normally like lowered anything.... but that is a good-looking truck.

Thanks man! It's not too radical with the drop. Just a 2" drop springs and shackles with adjustable drag shocks in the rear

Damn, can't wait to see this come together. Very jelly of the new ride!

Thanks Cam. It's nothing special but it's definitely fun!

I don't think you will have any issues running a 2618 pistons, you will just have to let the car warm up a bit before driving maybe.

If you want a flat top then I would look at these Wiescos. Too bad your machinist already took the block .020 over because these come in a .010 over and a .030 over. I had the same problem with the cp/saleen pistons, just didn't quite have enough room to make them work. I bet it probably would have worked .010 over though if it was close with the cp/saleens. Anyway, here are the Wiescos. They also come with coated skirts and rings at this price.

If you really wanted to push it you could use these. I have wanted to do a BB with these, but it would be a little higher than 11:1.

Or these Ross pistons that also come with rings and would give stock cr. There are a lot of options for stock cr.

The rest of the pistons don't come with rings though so you have to take that into account. I believe the Modmax Moly Rings are around $120 by themselves.

Nice Lightning, been looking at them myself.

What did you think if the CP flat tops that I posted? Do you think those would work? I know they are on the high end of the price spectrum though

Thanks Ryan, I love driving it every day for sure. It would definitely pull the mustang good too with over 500 ft lbs

I don't see why they wouldn't work, but it is just like you stated, they are the top end of the price spectrum.

Ross w/ Rings $699 (9.8:1)
Wiesco w/ Rings $775 (11:1)
CP w/ Rings $912 (11:1)

It is up to you, I believe they are all good pistons. It's a budjet engine right? My thought would be why pay extra for a piston that comes with upgraded wrist pins and the works when you are still using a stock crank?

Damn good looking lightning

Well it seems like 11:1 is not going to be very cost efficient since I can't use the wisecos. I guess I will plan on the Ross. I misread the CP pistons and thought they came with rings. That was the only reason I was considering them. I guess this will be Better though since I plan on having a pump gas tune as well. Hell I may try and see what it'll make on pump and then use the E85 if I'm not happy. I'll have the fuel system to make over 700 with E85 anyways.
