Do you really need forged pistons?

358 on 9psi.... DAMN... what bolt ons.... i want specifics..lol

Not entirely true. The largest factor is going to be fuel ratio and timing while under boost. Thats will be the difference between a failure and a reliable motor. Sure metal flaws might be a factor. But it is not the most important one. Also depending on the temperature of the boosted air you might not have any problems at 15 PSI on one setup but might be overwhelmed at 9PSI on another setup

Every piston and bearing surface is imediatly suspetable to failure under detonation. Every piston top is going to run excessivly hot under a lean condition even if there is no detonation.

Heat makes power. But too much melts stuff

Good points, but also just reinforces what I said. Remember that A/F ratio and timing and air density (temp) are just factors that affect cylinder pressure. Peak cylinder pressures and max HP are reached with optimum A/F ratio and timing. If your other factors aren't right though and you run too hot or too close to detonation then obviously you have to dial back timing and/or add fuel and/or try to cool the air charge and engine down in other ways. I kinda figured that was a given and we didn't need to go into that.

yeah midnight what the hell are you runnin. Those some awesome #s for 9psi

u still obd 2?

[rickykline]

if hes running a tgp chip im guessing hes still obd1.....

[kwhauck]

i blew the #6 piston at 13-15psi.......
