I'm looking into new piston and cylinder kits and saw these AA-products for pretty cheap. http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DC10%2D5205&CartID=1 Just looking for some feedback. I know, as they say, you get what you pay for. Should I spend the extra fifty bucks for the cima/mahle http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DC10%2D5169

I would go with the forged cima or mahle kit. Ive used them in several motors ive built and never had any problems. Cast pistons wont handle the heat as well.

I have used two of the AA kits and both only lasted one season. The Cima/Mahle is definitly the better choice of the two.

Cima/Mahle all the way here too.

Just in your spare time, try reading this:
