Ross Racing 8.5:1 compression 3.0L Pistons!!! - 04/01/03 05:46 PM
Well since I'm doing a 3.0L and Street Flight Turbo Kit, I figured I would go ahead and drop the compression down and buy some lower compression pistons. I've been in contact with Nikolas from duratecperformance.com and I've gotten a quote from Ross Racing for some custom 8.5:1 3.0L flat-top pistons. Ross Racing uses 2618 T-61 aluminum in all of their pistons. The price for myself alone is $1050. However, if I get just one more person the price drops about 40% to $780 . Rings, pins, and pin assembly is all included in the price.
Since the 3.0L duratec came with 3 different size of pistons, these pistons are a 1mm overbore, so the cylinders will have to be rehoned which isnt too expensive. Might as well get it done while the crank is being rebalanced. Contact Rick Blackford (Buckshot77) if you need this service done.
This deal will only apply up until the date I order which is about 2 weeks. After that, the price jumps to $900 a set!
According to Ross Racing, delivery time for custom pistons is about 2.5-3 weeks depending on the season.
If your looking to run more boost or play it safe to avoid detonation, now is the time to order! I don't think I left out any information. If I did, I'll be sure to include it. If you have any further questions, contact Nikolas or myself. Serious Buyers only!
