I've owned two sets of them. What do you want to know about them? They're no different than any other piston in the fact that they are made of a different material, but they're just pistons. Now they may seperate themselves in the higher horsepower area such as 500+, but anything below 400hp and the stock pistons do the same thing as the Wiseco slugs.

If it helps any, I cracked the ringlands on my old wisecos in less than a week, but this was back in 1999.

i was just wondeering how they work if they will hold up and how i get them to work on the stock rods any info would bee cool thanx

[MeanGreenS13]

honestly, imo like dee has said to MANY others, put it in and drive it. Theres really no need for Forged pistons unless your going to make 400+ hp, and even then... im going for 400-425whp on stock bottom end...

im sorry to bring this back up but i ran it to a problem with my forged pistons from wiesco i have them on the rods and ready to put in but the stock ones are notched for the oil squrters and the forged are not any body run in to this and if so what was done about it and the reason i went with the forged was cuz i broke the rings on the stock stuff and the forged were only 456.00 ship to my door from wiesco didnt think i could pass up forged pistons for that price

[kapower06]

you either ordered the wrong set. or they shipped the wrong set.... whered you get them from?

Im running wisecos in my engine and they are notched for the oil squirter.

[zil40]

i orderd them from wiesco them selfs i have the part number if you have your do you think you could check the numbers for me and see if they are the same or what ever if they are i will call them and get a new set ship to me thanx for your help my buddy wanted to move the oil squrrters and i need to figure this out to get it back together
