Holy smokes man you have no idea how stoked I am to see your reply! I was looking all over the place for a way to break the 100 horse barrier. A whole year has gone by since I pulled my motor and you my friend, just figured out the equation for me.
I actually called Ram some time ago about those forged pistons. The aviation guys know their craft (no pun intended) and they told me exactly the same thing you said. From what I understand, they are good for 9.3:1 compression and very few folks are serious enough to shell out big bucks for them things. I was skeptical before but now I know for sure.
Thanks again for passing on the info. I feel perverted looking at your piston photo but your ambition and dedication inspires me to do the same this holiday season. I look forward to your continued progress in the future and wish you all the best!
