You made a lot of good points demon. To sum things up the way I understood them, If I spent all the money on the forged interals and run a lot of boost I could be wasting my money due to the platform of our cars, I would not have the traction to do use any of that power. I want this to be a powerful street car. It has to be relible and trustworthy, and be very fast.
So say I decided to throw in those sealed power pistons that tom gave to me. From I understand about these pistons They are comparible to the revised 3L pistons, they fit the stock bore and they keep the stock compresion ratio. My main question is if installed these ( with a fidenza flywheel and a DMD) would I need a rebalnce?. Please correct if any of this information is incorrect about these pistons. But these "Sealed power" pistons have a different style ring arrangemnt and they will seal better than stock pistons? There for I could run more boost.

Our engine design is very good at being very resistant to detonation. (I.E. 13+psi from a T28 on 10.31 CR!)
Tom ran ~10psi on both his 10.25-10.3CR 3L and 10.1CR oval port 3L
So 13psi is the highset known boost level on the stock CR? So say on my dual satge boost controller I ran 7psi all day on the street and I put 12psi on the switch... Would that be safe?
Quote:
Stock oval port cams for 5-9psi. (mad early TQ hump & they can't support high rpm anyway)
SVT cams for 9psi and above. (nice TQ, FLAT TQ, KILLER HP above 5000rpm)
Or I could run 9psi all day and 12psi on the switch since I will be using SVT cams.
Demon, Please give me your thoughts on those sealed power pistons and everything stated above. Thanks
