Reply to "Hypereutetic v Forged"

I used K.B. for years, they are fine in a street application. Be aware,the top ring is gapped larger as it is closer to the top of the piston.

Needing to order a new set of pistons for my 351C and debating which is the best way to go.

Used forged pistons in my previous engine build with no problems. However I notice a lot of the suppliers, especially here in the UK, list about 5 types of Hypereutetic to about 1 type of forged.

Also notice the Hypereutetic are much more keenly priced so if I can save a bit of money without compromising the build I will.

Car will be fast street with no track use so are there any good reasons not to go with these hypereutetic pistons. Anybody had good or bad experiences with them

Types I'm looking at are Speedpro and KB.
