Wiseco or Supertech?

Some of our venorable vendors here have both choices available.

I've used Wiseco in past projects, but I've never used Supertech.

Anyone used these in the past?

A slug is a piston

I've never messed with zetec pistons....yet

We have used Wiseco on 100's of V-8s and they are excellent quality "slugs"

Whats a slug?

From Encyclopedia.com

Name for a terrestrial gastropod mollusk in which the characteristic molluscan shell is reduced to a thin plate embedded in the tissues. Like the terrestrial snails of the same order, slugs have a distinct head with a mouth, tentacles bearing eyes, and a lung for breathing air. They move on a muscular foot over a trail of slime which they secrete. Certain species, such as Limax maximus, have become serious pests in gardens and truck farms, particularly in the W United States. Gliding out to feed at night, they devour both the roots and aerial portions of plants with their rasplike radula. Terrestrial slugs are classified in the phylum Mollusca , class Gastropoda, order Stylommatophora.

This is a Duratec 2.3...

I was thinking Wiseco or Diamond originally... but MMS offering the cheap Supertech had me considering them.

I don't know if you've seen that but it might help make your choice.

Also, depending on your application, I think a chat with marcy is in order here.

he'll direct you down the rite path of upgrades here.
