For those of you with built motors, what piston/ rod combos are you using with success? I'm going to be sleeving, and building my engine soon, and want to know what my options are. My car is currently making 546 whp on stock internals, and I will be trying for 6-700 in the future. I would just turn up the boost, and keep the stock engine, but I had a valve burn and I dropped a spark plug. It surprisingly didn't do much damage, but the walls are scored. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

 

I have darton mid sleeves, Brian Crower 625 rods, and JE pistons

 

custom je pistons from t1 and manley turbo tuff rods

 

I run Golden Eagle Sleeves, BC Rods, and CP 9:1 Pistons. I currently make 492 on pump gas @ 14psi, only cause my fuel pump maxed out.. My goal was 600 so just have to upgrade that and I will be good.. running a precision 6266 ball bearing turbo.

 

If I sleeved a block I'd run a better rod than the bc rods... those are budget rods imo.

I use either mahle or wiseco pistons. Wiseco always seem to take abuse better than cp's do.

 

my car made 931whp on benson sleeves custom cp pistons and pauter rods

 

What Compression Ratio are you guys running? I was thinking about getting Darton Sleeves, BC Rods, and Wiseco Pistons 8.5:1 Compression. What do y'all think??

 

Why so low? I got 9.6:1 compression with mine but if I can do it again I will probably go a little higher

 

Honestly I was just going with that CR because that is all that I could find with wiseco pistons.

 

Get cp pistons... wiseco piston have had some issues in past... I never had any problem with cp on any of my builds.ethir way good luck with your build..
