I can't believe you haven't heard of this company. Oh wait, they are low-key and thanks to one of our forum members who turned me on to them, it seems like the perfect in-house performance shop.

Here's an excerpt from their website:

We can make up pistons for ANY make of automobile, in ANY bore size and ANY compression ratio. For many makes of imports, we already have the necessary patterns and designs in our files. If we don't have yours, then you will need to furnish us with an old stock piston, a mold of a combustion chamber, and the volume of the chamber. These pistons are forged from premium aluminum and are very strong. They can be furnished with special re-inforcement to withstand very high turbo boost and/or large nitrous shots. Prices start at $380 per set. Contact us for furthur information:

We can also provide Hi-strength wristpins in either chrome-moly or titanium. The titanium pins are especially suited for serious Hi-RPM racing, as they are very light in addition to being extremely strong.

For piston rings, we recommend the Deves Swedish steel rings. The combine the advantages of chrome-moly and gapless rings without the disadvantages of either. Usually we can pick up 3-5% in HP by simply switching to the Deves rings.
