Picked up the new nitrous slugs that Mike had Ross make for me. Forged, flat top, nitrous deck, +.100" over, with a relocated pin hole.

WARNING!!!!!!!!
Always ask prices BEFORE ordering custom pistons! Mike assumed that since it was a full custom piston to start with that it would not matter where they put the pin hole. It did. $40 per piston to move the hole down .100". I got 8. $320 for moving the pin.

Pistons were $98 each.

Pins were $18 each.

Ring sets were $25 per hole.

Other than that, they are pretty nice looking pistons. :D

I'm hoping I don't kill any, but I know I will so I got spares. :lol:

Here's a crappy picture, and the warning on the box. :?

Are these going in the NEW car? 175 shot right? Or are you going 250 shot? Nice looking slugs. Cant wait to see them run down the track (hopefully still attached to the engine and car LOL) So what the plan....inquiring minds want to know. Thanks for the pics Big D

I love that warning! It's right up there with this (from the SDS EFI site but probably found all over the net):

Charlie, I have not decided on a camshaft yet. I may not need reliefs since these are down in the hole a ways. I did discuss cams with Mike yesterday, I will probably need them flycut. These were paid for with last winter's OT money. There's pictures in the 'Race' section of what I bought with this last OT coin. :D

Frank, Yes, this motor is for the new car eventually. I am hoping to have the new car light enough to never exceed a 150 shot. :roll: :lol:

Dan, I've seen that before. DusterDave has it for a sig pic on Moparts. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I opened a bag before I read the destructions anyway. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I have a set of Ross custom pistons.I've learned that custom is spelled
$C$U$S$T$O$M.
I have a lot of these parts in a motor that is now being removed and inspected for damage because I didn't buy a $CU$S$T$O$M$ bypass adaptor for my remote oil filter adaptor and the made in china piece of crap lost it's threads losing all my oil at 6000 grand. :oops:

Actually I know what I am going to be breaking when I go above a 150 shot. Been there, done that.

I have a couple pistons laying around that have been through a "thermal event". :shock:
