This is not a high performance build, it's straight up stock.

But I get your point, I'd LOVE to go with the Wossner's. The OEM pistons in the these cars don't have a stellar reputation. In fact I've got a car sitting in the garage, right now, that ingested it's #1 piston. This is why I hesitate a bit about using these donor pistons.

I'd love to go Wossner, but 550 is stretching the budget for this project. If there was slightly lower cost option I'd do it for sure. 550 makes it hard to pull the trigger. I would do it if I knew for sure that the donor pistons would be a mistake.
