I found some 9.0:1 compression forged pistons with rings for $220.00 at
www.avalonracing.net. Has anyone on this forum had any experience with there pistons? I can get some 8.5:1 Ross pistons for $525 shipped, or weisco 9.0:1 forged pistons with chrome moly coated skirts for around $450, and they both come with a chrome plated steel rings, piston pins and hardware, but if avalon racing pistons are comparable strenght wise I would rather save some $$$. I E-mailed them about there pistons ring land design, but they have not awnsered my q's yet. Any advice regarding pistons, rings, and bearings would be appreciated. I would like to run 9.0:1 compression to keep hp numbers up at low RPM's (when the turbo is not creating boost), and I would like to run 12 to 15psi as a daily driver. Can I safely run that amount of boost on pump gas? (fuel management will be a JWT cobra maf, 4 bar system, w/50lb injectors, and the engine internals will also be able to withstand that level of boost)
