    Default Mahle Gold Pistons...

    Does anyone here have any experience with them in a build they have done? If so, please enlighten me. I have heard good things about them but would like more insight. I know with the pistons you don't have to sleeve the block, which is definitely a plus. But, is this a stable as sleeving the block? Or, is it just a little better than stock sleeves with these pistons?

    Im running them but i have the Mahle PowerPak Piston Kit with a custom compression ratio so my block had to be sleeved. But i know a few guys back in Jersey that run the Gold's and they like them and not problems

    Good deal, I have heard about your car so I trust your input. On the Gold's, the highest compression I can go is 11.5:1, correct?
