After looking at a lot of different pistons for my build, these were on the top of the list but price made them pretty hard to swallow for a 305 rebuild. But, things change and I just scored a set vortec 906 castings for $150.00 through a buddy deal so now I can "up" the spending in another area.

Anyone using these? I hear they are top notch, good gas ports, tight ring grooves and the coating works well. I'm planning on using these pistons with some GM powdered metal rods and the stock crank. Should be a decent bottom end that will survive for miles to come @275-325HP.
