I stand corrected. That's reasonable custom piston cost if you are say doing a custom stroker or bore.
I'm ARP / Damper / Oil Pump etc invested as well. I'd like to "set it and forget it" for a long time once she is built. |
For everyone claiming these are quiet, quieter, less noise - or anything implying these aren't loud as fuck - can you please produce a video of cold start?
Because mine sounds like a tractor ready to plow. |

Because mine sounds like a tractor ready to plow. That's because that's what motors making real power sound like. I will say that my JEs in the 95 were dead fucking quiet. Spook-ily so. |

Every piston manufacture has options over there stock line of pistons. FM includes some of these options. Wiesco makes a piston based off of a stock piston and computer modeling. FM takes that and refines it through real world testing and calls it there own. Your getting a custom weisco piston rebranded as FM.
That being said, my off the shelf ones held 460whp just fine |
I went back and forth with the same dilemma. I just couldn't justify the extra cost. I also noticed when I was looking Wiesco off the shelf pistons didn't have reliefs in the skirts for oil squirters. I don't believe super tech had notches either. I was also told by one machine shop that I should delete the squirters. I came to the conclusion i wanted to keep mine. After talking with a few people with built motors I decided on JE. I haven't found anything bad about Je's and the skirts are notched for squirters.

Does any happen to know the dome size (cc) on the turbo FM Wisecos and intended C/R? If it's listed I missed it.
The radial clearance for oversize valves seems to be taken into account on the FM Pistons where it is VERY tight on the OTS Wisecos using +1mm valves on a BP6D head. |

Unrelated question:
Why does your oil pressure gauge show pressure before engine start? |

I didn't realize that was a thing, although I'd thought it would be a good idea to have an electric oil pump to build pressure before engine start. This looks like a simpler way to accomplish the same thing. Very cool.
