<VV> Cracked Pistons

[James Cuneo]

Thanks Mike, My goal is to be able to run 15psi for short bursts reliably. The look on peoples faces when I pull out to pass, turbo singing is priceless. As for choices of pistons, I am open to all possibilities. Anyone with first hand experience with the  Clarks Forged?Jim
