Tom, wouldn't it take a whole heap of work to make the 292 pistons work for the supercharger application? By that I mean, the compression height is .370" higher on the 292 pistons than on the 250 ones (if my math is right). How could I counter that and not reduce the piston durability?

The stock type cast pistons have thin ring lands and are not designed for this.
A forged piston in standard form is also not designed for this forced induction setup. Only a custom order forced induction piston design is going to be proper.

Hank, the piston's in the Syclone, are they a forced induction design with a big top ring land?


292's have a big top ring land from the factory and are a piston that will take the abuse. Tom
