Now I know why Sharif is always saying sometimes they just look too pretty to put in the engine! Those pics are great!

This is the first set of "higher" compression pistons I have had Arias make for me. They are 10.0:1 and also the Extreme Duty design. Notice the valve relief machining, and the fine detail on the crown.

He has an S1 cam, if he upgrade i would assume he gets S2. Also since Motec is one of the best EMS out there, there's no reason do downgrade to UTEC. Not that I've anything against it, but they are in different categories. Also UTEC at this time doesn't support VTC.

SPS is a local piston manufacturer in Melbourne, Australia... in full it is called Special Piston Service... and my tuner gave them all the piston data that we were after, then they made the forged pistons for us according to those specs... I didn't go for Arias or CP (was going to) because my tuner told me that the SPS pistons are really good and they have been using their forged pistons for their custom 350Z TT projects for 2 over years already!
