nitrous + hypereutectic pistons

Do you think Speed Pro Hyper-u's can live with a 100 shot?

All day...

They should be fine with a 100hp shot. Hyper pistons aren't nessicarly that much weaker then forged pistons. Forged slugs are just much more resistant to detonation.

I wouldn't be scared to put a 150hp shot on my notch which is a 93 (aka hyper pistons). I actully plan on doing just that before too much longer.

I agree. Hypers from what I have read are actually stronger than forged. But that makes them more brittle. Forged pistons are tougher and can take the pounding better from what I understand. I am by no means a metallurgist.

If you keep things in proper tune, I'd run a 100 hp shot on them without worrying.
