[QUOTE="NTXRockr, post: 13639404, member: 143742"] That's part of my question...are the upgraded pistons in the aluminator (forged Mahle's) that much stronger than the hypereutectic cast ones in the stock coyote? Are they as good or close to a Diamond or other forged piston? It seems like the pistons in built shortblocks use a different alloy, which might have something to do with handling nitrous/boost better. The other part of my question is to do with the design of the pistons. I've read and been told that the stock and aluminator pistons have little material between the piston face and the rings, which may be a weak design for nitrous. Is this accurate or nothing to worry about on a lower shot? I'm not knocking the aluminator at all, just the opposite. I'd love to use it but I want to make sure it'll handle my uses before forking out almost $8k and then have it fail on me. [/QUOTE]
