you probably got the cylinders too hot and the top ring gap closed up. i swear this is why all these people chip pistons and not because of knock.

You sir are correct.

Hints my first post why I said what I said.

The stock pistons can take a beating for what your goals are, no need to go forged unless your going all out and building it from scratch balanced and blue printed and making it a mean machine that CAN take more of a beating than stock piston can.

Knock destroys rod and main bearings more than anything.

I was running about 18 to 22 pounds (mp-112 supercharger)of boost and the guys at intense racing told me I could keep the stock pistons and crank. What do they know.
