These pistons feature a dish style with no valve reliefs and are manufactured from 2618 material forgings suitable for mild blown or nitrous applications. They are CNC precision machined for oversized valves and high lift cams, with critically machined ring grooves for 1.2mm x 1.2mm x 3.0mm rings.

The wrist pin style is press-fit or floating, and the set comes with 990-2800-51-15C wrist pins, pin fit, wire locks, and broached double pin oilers. These pistons are sold as a set of 8.
