If I get a set of them out one day I'll probably start logging the info. I find it amazing that we can break 400whp on cast pistons and it last more than a few pulls I know my stock DE @ 26psi was damn close to 400 and probably would have still been kicking if the FPR line didn't fail on me. When I took it apart the pistons were perfect but the connecting rod small ends were showing signs of heat even with water/meth spray. Maybe if it had oil squirters it would have helped cool them better on the bottom side. (Don't know still learning crap about these engines)




Once I get my VE long block pulled down, I can weight it for you. Just send me a PM in a few weeks to remind me
