New!!!! Dezod Motorsports Pistons....IN STOCK
That's right. We are proud to release our own pistons that are made exclusively to our specs with a candy 8.8:1 compression ratio, perfect for boost. These will be added to our website shortly. Pricing will be around $535.00

Rep Power: 0 We will also be offering rods too very soon. We are attempting to offer more cost effective means to building a D17 than Crower's $7XX rods & CP's $7XX pistons.
Edit: Scion tC will get a set of pistons soon too

(oh and it would be great if the rods didnt require to notch the block.
id like to go the correct route but at the same time the least expensive and wasteful. you should look into making your own block-guard too.

I'm willing to bet that almost any rods will require machining the block for fitment, regardless of who makes them.
As far as pistons go, if you're tuned, you should be able to run as much boost as you want (assuming you have rods, too), without failure. Your imagination is the limit. But, depending on how high you go, it may be wise to consider tuning with race fuel. And if you keep it a daily driver, race fuel isn't very economical. Usually around the 350 whp mark on a sohc is about the limit you want to push with pump gas. Beyone that, race fuel is a good idea.
Back to the pistons....

But he also has rods. So, that may play a factor into how much power I squeeze out.
