crap I just looked, go with the Ross. . .they COME with the rings, the diamond ones you'll have to find a set (unless Diamond will contract with Power Seal or whatever the hell rings we got. . .rings are like $150!!). . .and they're $600+shipping, that's dirt cheap man. . .GO FOR IT!



The money is not a big issue to me, At first I was anxious to have this motor built by this summer time, and now I just want to build it right, I can wait and save money.

The deal is,

If I buy the forged rods I can get the ross pistons for $500, If I just buy the pistons they are $600

The diamond pistons with rings and wrist pins are $714.

So there is not too much of difference. I just want what is best.

Also I just noticed that, the diamond pistons I had were only a .5mm over bore, and the ross are 1mm overbore... How much will that come into play?

Beyondloadedse: You are using the 8.5:1 CR correct? your car is running now? how do you like it?
