thats why they make forged pistons. plus even if they were to make them, they would be so damn expensive.

If you want to run Nitrous or boost, you want low compression.

You will want forged pistons...titanium pistons will do you no good even if they did make them, because titanium is a bimetal, and would not go well with our block.

I reccommend JE pistons and eagle rods. I think JE might even have 8.5:1 pistons somewhere out there if you look.

Titanium is brittle.

hey you could allways buy kevlar pistons, that way they would be bulletproof!!!

j/k if your lookin for good pistons go with what is tried and true, dont try some new shyt just becuse it has a fancy name,

titanium light and strong compared to other metals BUT if it was realistic then every racer in the world would allready be using it, and lets not forget it would cost about 5000.00 per piston due to the high cost of titanium!
