    Default Supertech Pistons

    I am thinking of buying some Supertech pistons for my build.

    http://nrgtechparts.com/supertech-pe...6/i-68285.aspx

    Does anyone have any experience with Supertech's Pistons? I know their valvetrain parts are pretty good. Thanks in advance for the help.

    their pistons are fine and the coating they come with is nice but cp pistons are the most precise pistons made by manufacting specs.

    Supertechs are a great product.


    CP however are rarely seen in high hp cars, but are ok in street cars.

    I am sure they will all be fine for NA, but for boost but off the shelf CP's are weak around the valve releifs. Weisco's and JE are what you see in a lot of race cars. But that really doesnt mean too much b/c I am sure they are custom specs anyway.

    That’s when tuning comes into play. We have never had problems around the valve relief’s, i guess certain people do have problems but that comes from detonation, and detonation comes from tuning...

    or a clogged fuel filter. CP's are just less forgiving for any hickup or mishap.
