At this rate we'll have enough for the group by sometime in October. :rofl2:

3 more sets would lock in the deep pricing! But I can see what I can do if we dont get that far. I am sure I can still get us a decent break... but to hit those 7 sets would be amazing... that would be shelf piston pricing for custom CPs!

This is the absolute best piston on the market. If you have a CP piston in one hand, and any other piston out there in the other hand, you will see/feel the difference. The piston ring lands with the CP's are superior to all others.

In a couple weeks here I am going to start pushing this piston! I am going to need to get a set on order for my engine soon.

Dammit man, hold off until after I finish buying Xmas presents and ****. Don't start a group buy during the holidays. :rofl2:

Ya i can wait until January really. I am still knee deep in building an oil pump setup so I dont really have a rush for pistons.

That would make my life so much easier. My Gf's birthday is three days after Xmas, so I get hit twice. :rofl2:

And tell the rest of the class about the oil pump setup- would this be something that can handle sustained 8k rpm driving?

phunk 11-14-2013 01:27 PM

Its a top secret project that I am currently about 70% confident I can complete. But I will not know for sure until I start prototyping it on the new CNC. But the projects goal is to give us an oil pump solution that will be able to handle 8-9k RPM without any real concerns. But I will add one detail right now... if I do complete this, there is going to be no way around it requiring very light modification to the nose of the crankshaft. Its an easy modification, but the crankshaft will require removing. This means engine out, timing covers and chains off. You can get the crank out with the heads on and leave the pistons and rods in there... but unless youre an NA car, you might as well do the pistons and rods once youre this deep.

I will probably start posting about it in January.

Great, my "future motor build" keeps getting more and more expensive. :rofl2:

Keep building cool ****, man. One of these days I'm going to be writing you a fairly substantial check.
