hyper pistons and 125 shot nos?

[81rustabu]

I'm about to start building my 400 and I'm looking at pistons. My question is will hyper pistons handle a 125 sht of nitrous?

Yes up to 150. Do yourself a favor a put forged pistons in it you will be glad you did.

Yep i agree, if your gonna do a motor put the forged in.

X3 on the forged cans. If you're building a performance engine, use performance parts, not crate engine/rebuild quality stuff. Even if the parts are OK for the power levels intended, overbuilding a little is worth it. Especially with nitrous. Once you get a taste, you'll want a bigger shot...

some old school trw pistons will hold up to a nice shot of juice and they are priced right

It'll handle it just fine. I've been spraying a 150 to a stock bottom end standard bore 350 for 2 yrs now. So hyper pistons should handle it no problem

I used to blow a 250 shot on a cast piston, stock rod, stock crank 406.

yes it will...it is all in the tune,,,,ask me how i know,,,

This debate is old as the hills. Yes you can. But slip up on the tune and you will be scooping your pistons up out of your oil pan. I did it for years and the whole time I was thinking "I wish I would have spent the extra money on good parts".

You can cook any kind of piston when using a power adder. Forged pieces will stand more abuse, but anything made by a man can be broken. All that has to happen is for the fuel solenoid to not work correctly one time and its game over. I never hurt anything on nitrous, but I was lucky.
