SRP vs Ross Racing

[adam83]

I picked out a decent set of Ross Forged aluminum piston for my 440. But, the are on back order for two weeks, so I looked into SRP by JE, and they have very similar piston, about $40 cheaper and I can get it sooner. The only major difference is the SRP pistons are about 43g heaver per piston than the Ross. The are going in a 440, +30 over, zero deck, ARP main cap studs, stock forged 3.75" crank, forged 440 source I beam rods 7/16ths arp bolts, moly rings, gapless 2nd ring, fully ported eddy RPM heads

Ross pistons are part #82008 $594

SRP pistons are part #213455 $560

Is there any other differences between them, that may not be advertised? If I go with the SRP, will the extra weight be noticeable in how the engine behaves? If there is no real differences I would feel, I'd like to change the order and get the srp because they will get here sooner and they are cheaper.

JE is now owned by the same company that took over weisco, not saying it's a bad thing, but you have CP and Arias and others to look at also, but i like the lighter weight.

Diamond or Ross is the best for the dollar. They make them to order so not really on back order.
