Slant build / pistons

As said above, you don't really need special pistons, in a slant, except for all out racing. I have used stock pistons in all my engine, except for my 170 turbo. That one had TRW forged pistons, and was built in 1979. And I did hurt some of them, due to my "tuneup" not being correct. Back then there was not much info on turbcharging available, and I was having trouble staying out of detonation. My 66 Cuda with a 170 and 66 Valiant with a 225 Have both been in the low 8's in the 1/8 and the Cuda 12.90 in the 1/4 mile. I have sprayed as high as 225 shot of nitrous (risky) on the 170. usually spray about 150-175 shot. Both cars have bone stock short blocks (except for cam), with std bore and stock used pistons.
