the stock pistons are cast aluminum with 8.4:1 compression. don't plan on ever running nitrous or a power adder with these pistons, they can't take it for very long. also, there are no valve reliefs for clearance if you plan on running a high lift cam.

They're cast aluminum and have no valve reliefs. They're acceptable for a stock type engine but not for any kind of power.
