forged vs. hypereutectic
which one should i use for pistons? im getting a 383 shortblock and am planning to get 500 lb.ft. of torque and around 450 horsepower out of it, and the guy at M&R engines said that although it is gonna be a daily-driven street vehicle, i should have forged pistons and not hypereuctetic. this will also be subject to some cold starts in the winter, since i live in nebraska... most other people said to use hypereutectic for its tighter clearances and less wear over time. basically, how long does a typical forged piston smallblock chevy last for mileage? i want to be able to get at least 100 thousand miles from this beast as long as i dont romp on it all the time. what do you guys think?
