Piston Power ?

I used the super stock pistons, and they did seem to add some power. Never dyno'ed or anything. As far as a standard wiseco adding power, I dont think it will be noticable at all. I actaully prefer the cast pistons myself. I've used wiseco and they didn't hold up well for me. I really like my PRO-X pistons but I donlt think they make a big bore long rod piston so I think I'll try wiseco again.

just a little info on my PRO-X's........

 

 

Pro-X piston kits are manufactured in Japan and are designed to be an O.E.M replacement (O.E.M stands for original equipment manufacturer ). This means they meet or exceed the manufacturers specifications. Most of the later models are actually genuine pistons in Pro-x boxes!!. Make no mistake these pistons are genuine racing parts.

 

The pistons are supplied in a kit form that includes Piston, piston rings, G-pin and circlips.

The aluminium alloy used in the manufacturing of Pro-X pistons maintain or exceeds the factory specification.

 

Pro-X pistons are precision ground on modern CNC machinery and maintain extremely close Tolerances. Nickasil cylinder pistons are available in standard sizes along with Fractional sizes e.g. (A,B, C,and D) which allow wear to be taken up in the bore e.g. size A is the smallest and D being the biggest please see tips on fitting.

 

Cast iron sleeved cylinders have additional Oversize of 0.25m/m increments up to 2.00m/m oversize, please see Reboring.

 

The fact that Pro-X pistons are made by the manufacturer that make pistons for Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Suzuki, makes them the smart Solution for you to save money on engine parts.

ya i'm actually going to do a rebuild and bore it out probley only 1 over and ppl r telling to get Wiseco kit ... i would but if POR-X is as good as they say they are and reliable as stock if not more reliable then hell thats what i want i'd sacrifice the extra few HP for that. cause i really don't wana do another rebuild every year or every 2 years even .. i will if i have to but if i don't have to i won't. my 99 is on stock bore and only had a ring job 3 years ago and it had 115-120lb's a side before the summer last year, but i feel bad them pistons are gona let lose anytime now so Are the POR-X pistons really more reliable ? :shrugani:
