SpecialEd 05 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Posted April 7, 2012 Ok, so I'm trying to find some info on Wiseco pistons Pro-Lite (513) and HP Series (842). I know the HP Series have hard coat anodizing and are obviously the racers choice. But are they worth paying the extra for in a trail/occasional sand drag engine? Is one better suited for this than the other? My thinking with engine parts is that racing components tend to have greater strength and durability but can also have a shorter overall life span than something a bit more conservative. Not too sure which to go for and I can't seem to find any info. Quote
vulvafan537240 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Posted April 7, 2012 never heard of the 842 pistons. got me interested. Quote
Wildcard2 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Posted April 7, 2012 We run the pro-lites in our bikes from the 350's to the 10mil cheatahs never really had any piston issues. Have not really done much with the hard coated ones. Quote
ClayAiken Posted April 7, 2012 Report Posted April 7, 2012 Just run the 513's and youll be fine. Quote
slothman Posted April 7, 2012 Report Posted April 7, 2012 I think the HP series is more or less for drag racing and high power output engines. For regular trail riding and occasional drag, you would be fine with the usual Pro-lites. They are both forged pistons, and you can't go wrong with either choice Quote
