Etc. So I usually recomend people get the stoutest stuff they can.The hyper vs cast difference is indeed silicon content, a Hyper pistons are designed for long wear, another thing I like.A cast piston won't hold up to any abuse, lol. That's why you had to add in "if your tuning is done correctly" cast pistons shatter with the greatest of ease because they are brittle as hell. An engine with cast pistons is also more likely to detonate because the cast edges are sharp and promote detonation, so it's like a viscous cycle.</blockquote>
