Hey Brian, are you useing the ceramic to keep the heat off of the pistons a little better? Did you coat them entirely or only the tops?

Looks freaking cool as heck though :dance:

The ceramic coating is to keep heat in the combustion chamber where it belongs and where it makes power. should keep engine temps down too.
Only the piston tops are ceramic coated. The sides are graphite coated.

I'm a dummy. How is having the sides of the piston graphite coated beneficial? :help: :oops:

Okay, here's one for you Bo. On the way in to work this morning some guy in a Mazda 3 (one of the sporty looking editions) was kind of cutting in and out of traffic like he was in a real hotrod. I caught him at the light and when it changed he took off pretty hard, so I nailed my shit. by the time I shifted out of first and was on it for a a couple more seconds I was so far a head of him I just let off, lol. Dumb ass probably didn't even know what hit him. I usually don't bother with anything with less than ~300 hp or so, but this guy was asking for it, lol.


Get a Video camera and start recording,I want to see some video of this Porsche and Import Eating Machine in action.... w:pw w:pw

These stories are better than the storyline for the new Fast and the Furious though........ :thumbs:

dry film lubrication, reduces friction on the cylinder wall
