Yes, Ross forged pistons. I'd have preferred a bit lower to be honest, I have to be careful with the timing to avoid detonation. I'm considering a bigger cam to help. Scat forged crank, Scat rods, spent a lot of money on this engine.
Made 341hp at the wheels on the chassis dyno but if I'd have put the same $$ into a 440 it would probably be 500hp...
