Curious what has been the opinion of the Wiseco pistons. Are they a good choice for a daily driver or are they more of a racing piston ? Looking for a good daily driver forged piston. What do you guys think ?
Thanks for that info. Primary requirement for a street car to me is quiet running. What is the sidewall clearance on a 4000 series aluminum piston please ?They're made of 2000 series aluminum so they're going to need more clearance than a stock or 4000 series forging. You'll have extra noise from pistons rattle have have to be diligent about letting them warm up before getting on it.
Here is the best bang for the buck.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-l2481f30/overview/make/buickCurious what has been the opinion of the Wiseco pistons.

I agree if I needed a stock replacement but it has been written on this forum that these SP /TRW are almost as heavy as my GM factory pistons. No gain in changing out unless they were lighter and gained some streetable compression like around 9:0 to 1. My low mileage pistons are in great shape just heavy. For a street car I guess I wouldn't feel the difference.Here is the best bang for the buck.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/slp-l2481f30/overview/make/buick
True on what you said for a lighter piston but not with TRW that are just as heavy and comp distance at 1.825 and a dish of 24.44 ccYou won't feel it acceleration wise... but those pistons won't get you the compression you want.
Knocking weight off, removes stresses, make it cheaper to balance, and can cut down on vibrations.
No. Forged pistons are stronger. We use them because they can handle more abuse. Sooner or later we have to spend money on stronger parts. Not because they make more power,but because they are less likely to break.I guess the question should be Can you feel the engine acceleration in the seat of your pants with a lighter piston ?? Anyone know that?
After they get pressed off I'll ask the machinist. Unless someone already knows.Just out of curiosity, what do factory pistons and pins weigh?
