Is it worth ceramic coating or molly coating the pistons for an F.I. build?
03 350z with eagle rods and cp or wiseco pistons for a powerlab turbo kit, is it worth having the pistons coated on the tops or skirts? What do you recomend or dont recomend? thanks

The moly coating reduces friction a bit.
The ceramic coating is supposed to help mitigate hot spots from forming on the top of the piston, thereby staving off detonation a little longer.
I spoke directly with an Engineer at Wiseco and he did recommend the coatings on the pistons for those who want to get every last bit of hp out of their motor. If you will not be pushing your motor really hard, it is probably not necessary.
One piece of evidence that I can throw out is that my particular motor, which had the coatings (PolyDyne), put down more hp on pump gas on Japtrix's Mustang dyno than any other VQ35DE they had dyno'd. I have alot of other upgrades on my build, but every little bit helps.
