This friday i need to purchase my pistons, im building a turbo 355 LT1 with boost retard now i have 2 choices

NEW SRP pistons with new JE rings $600

mild turbo application

or


Used JE Extreme Duty Pistons with used rings $600

less than 1000 miles no dings nothing look like new

will i need new rings ??

same price one is new other is used, different strength, WHAT TO DO??? HELLLPP?? ANYONE PLEASE what would you pick

 

You should always use new rings.

The JE pistons are a better quality than SRP. They're probably also lighter.

 

well if u know for sure the used pistons are good and have no crackes they are the stronger of the two,
i would go new i like it shiny and look in to new rings cost. thats another 150$ on top.

ive never seen a srp piston come apart so i have nothing to say bad about them.

 

Doesn't JE make SRP? They should not be that far apart in quality.

 

Yes they do but as I already mentioned, the JE pistons are a better quality and are lighter than SRP.

 

Yes JE makes SRP but pistons under the JE brand are made with better alloy than the SRP's, i was told 12 psi maxs for SRPS and then 20 psi for the JE's


I have a new issue now which i can really need the help https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tech...e-pistons.html

Thanks to everyone
