Edit: Release date is March 13th. Now taking orders!
As many of you know I've been working with Wiseco to bring you custom forged pistons for your SC motors for some time now. By building this relationship and showing a proven track record of selling these pistons (over 50 sets in 2 years), we have been able to get the attention of the higher ups at Wiseco.
Because of this overwhelming support of this club in purchasing Wiseco pistons through me, I have been able to negotiate a new deal with Wiseco to where they have agreed to build an off-the-shelf forged piston for us! Yes, that will be a forged piston in their "Pro Tru" line that will be a direct replacement for the stock pistons which can also be fit to a CAT 5.915" H-beam rod.
These pistons will be direct drop in replacements for all 89-95 SC's giving 8.5:1 compression, machined to accept either full floating or press fit applications depending on year, and will NOT require rebalancing of the motor.
With custom piston packages running upwards to $750 these days and a proper engine balance starting at $200 and up, these pistons can result in a savings of over $500 (!)
Wiseco will have shelf stock available in about 4 weeks which you can order direct from them for $510 + shipping. This includes the pistons, rings, and pins.
From Supercoupes Unlimited these piston sets (pistons, rings, pins) will cost $475 shipped (lower 48) which when compared to the old hyperutectic pistons (and rings) from Sealed Power ($330 at Rock Auto when you can get them), is actually about the bargain of the century for SC owners.
They will be available in .020" and .030" with no waiting (once they hit the shelves).
Part #'s:
PT-113-H2 (.020")
PT-113-H3 (.030")
There you go, proof that at least some parts manufactures will listen when we speak. Also one more reason why it also pays to channel some of your buying power through someone who is working on your behalf instead of sourcing parts individually through local channels. By working together to present one voice, we can actually accomplish good things from time to time.
