Which type of F/I engine could we make with those? (power; torque; reliability)
Cheap is good or bad in this case?

Also, wiseco are fine pistons, but from the local guy that runs them in his drag car, they look pretty beat up when he does rebuilds. He hasn't had a failure with them, but in comparision, they show more wear than other pistons. - he uses them because he has a connection that gets them for him REALLY cheap

The arias pistons should only be about 100 bucks more than the wisecos. Sharif has the arias for 760 on his site

The rods on the other hand are a serious amount cheaper. After doing the research I did, I feel comfortable with my purchase regardless of the price. the fact that I saved 600 bucks on the rods is icing on the cake.
