Speed-Pro POWERFORGED pistons
are offered in two patented highstrength
aluminum alloys – VMS-75
(for street use and many racing applications)
and 2618 (exclusively for
racing use). The VMS-75 alloy contains
approximately 11 percent silicon
which, as in selected hypereutectic
alloys, greatly increases surface
hardness, scuff resistance, and
reduces ring groove wear.
The stronger 2618 alloy, by contrast,
contains no silicon and is,
therefore, more susceptible to scuffing
and ring groove wear. This alloy
also requires increased bore clearance
and thorough engine warm-
