Yes, I remember the positive and productive thread.
I was hoping to find at least buyers for seven sets for my proposed configuration, including my myself. If seven sets are quickly accounted for, I will move quickly on working out the details and placing the order. Fourteen sets let me consider another manufacturer. If minimal interest is shown for my proposed pistons, then I will be glad to share the information gathered and help for another different piston group purchase.
Either way, I will help with another order. A different piston configuration requires a different CNC machining program so the minimum allotment is required for each differnet configuration.
Once the CNC program has been developed, and the forging slugs are available, then later single sets may be purchased at a reduce cost (compared to a single set custom order).
I agree the majority will probably want pistons for 5.7" rods. Concerning the piston weight, I was just giving an upper limit and not one that was actually proposed.
The possible major piston configurations for street performance:
1) Cast eutectic or hypereutectic, 5.7" or 6.0" rod
2) Chevrolet LS1 type piston, custom length rod around 6.050"
3) Forged hi silicon alloy, eutectic, 4032 alloy or similar
4) Forged low silicon alloy, 2618 alloy, 5.7" or 6.0" rod
5) Forged low silicon alloy, 2618 alloy for forced induction, 5.7" or 6.0" rod
Getting a consensus on what exact piston configuration(s) to purchase may require some work, with all the different valid justifications available.
