NO  NASCAR PISTONS PERIOD.. They are way too thin


Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing you at the salt this year but...
did you really say that! You & I both failed pistons but are you going  to 
blame it on a piston that runs 500 + miles @ WOT tuned to a knats a$$ and  
suggest it won't live at the salt? I agree in endurance builds for Bonneville  
but 
I think our issues & failures were related to other causes, not trying  to 
argue just my point of view. I know it happened twice to you but all the  same, 
I 
don't think it's a blanket statment... & I  suspect you didn't  mean it that 
way.
 
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the Berkly responds to "tunnel"  
input. It will be interesting to see how the lift relates to the c/d vs weight  
we've discussed in the past. My program shows going from 252 mph to 294 if you  
can run @ that .178 c/d.
 
See you soon.
Mike
