So it sounds like I should sell those for a chunk of change and get the molnar/racetec combo, gotcha. I plan to beat the hell out of this thing, and doing this would allow that, I underatand that now. I was a little worried about that when I saw cast aluminum pistons.If for some reason you do not need the .040" over ACL pistons and don't want to use them, then you would get another set of pistons from Autotec/Racetec.
It doesn't matter if the 200 rod and ACL pistons are a hard-to-get combination, since the Molnar rods and aftermarket pistons are available.
The Molnar rods are almost as long as the 200 rods and are stronger. (6.21" versus 6.27")
ACL pistons are a high silicon alloy piston that is fine for NA use but not for power adder applications.
Here is a statement from their own publication.
"ACL Performance pistons are NOT intended to replace forged pistons in applications where output isgreater than 100 BHP/litre or in turbocharged and supercharged engines. However they are ideal for engine builders wishing to obtain moderate increases in power and speed from otherwise standard engines for street or off road use."
Autotec/Racetec forged pistons would be far better for supercharger use.
Just went through Racetecs catalog, looks like it would have to be a custom forged piston. You know what these typically cost? Its the 'custom" word I dont like lol. The closest I saw was a chevy 305, but thats fairly bored over to make fit.
