Now grant it they are light weight, but i personally would not run them or put them in an engine i build, for hard all out racing. I know they have been around a long time in Indy type mtr. and formula 1 type racing and maybe some NASCAR teams use them.
But i'm not impressed with the sets that i have seen, but i also have the same opinion of Probe pistons. I may be old school, but i don't think you will find either of these pistons in any top notch NHRA race car, be it top fuel on down to super stock.

Now this just my opinion and it's not meant to make anyone mad.


I will second your opinion,we had several sets fail in 15.0-1 circle track applications,a call to Mahle resulted in us being told not to run over 13.0-1 with there pistons,back to J-E or C-P Bill
