    Correct. The GTP's already have forged pistons because they come from the factory with a supercharger. im sure the aftermarket ones may be a little bit stronger but the main reason some one would get aftermarket pistons would be to change the compresion ratio.

    Would stock timing tables be all i could use with nitrous? and then if the shot was big enough i would have to retard the stock timing to lower than stock?

    Thanks for the info. Ilearned something new today. I was always told that the GTP had the same piston as the GT, just shaved down. Glad I know what is accually going on inside my motor. Thanks again.

    Yup no problem, People are running around 13-18 psi on the stock s/c setup (wich is probably around a 2.8) on stock pistons and stock head gaskets easy...That would not happen on non- forged pistons. They would proabably just shatter lol


    matter of fact i dont know of any cars that were s/c that didnt come with forged pistons. I know for a fact the 87-93 mustangs came with forged pistons (even the 86 svo 4cyl turbo charged) and i know the newer svt cobra's with the roots style s/c like we have also came with forged pistons...
