Forged 2618 Piston and Connecting Rod Set

The Modern Muscle Performance Drop In Piston and Rod Power Package provides a high-strength internal upgrade for the Gen III HEMI platform. Engineered to support up to 1000 RWHP, this kit is specifically designed for high-performance builds utilizing superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide. The pistons are forged from 2618 material and engineered to match factory weight specifications, which eliminates the need to remove the crankshaft for balancing, reducing overall downtime and engine build costs. Technical features include German .217-wall tool steel wrist pins, coated skirts, and coated ring lands for durability. The assembly utilizes an accumulator groove between the first and second ring, a Napier oil control second ring, and a coated steel top ring. Connecting rods are matched for strength and feature custom-designed ARP 2000 bolts. Compression ratios range from 9.7:1 to 10.1:1, depending on the chosen head gasket configuration. Professional installation and clearance confirmation are required for this package. Note that choosing oversized pistons will necessitate engine block machining. Additionally, ensure compliance with all local and state emissions laws before purchase. This kit serves as a direct-fit solution for power-adders, provided that supporting modifications are installed to accommodate the increased output.
