Does anyone know what the known good safe power limit for 07-12 GT500 OEM pistons are? If the OEM Mahle built pistons are capable, Id prefer to just replace the rods, wrist pins, piston rings and bearings. I know the 13-14 piston design is unique and only JDM engineering has a drop in rod spec'ed for them. Im hoping the 07-12 pistons are not that unique.
Ive done a few searches, but cant seem to find the information Im looking for. Most of the search results pop up individual mentions of pistons, a vast majority being for brake pistons. A google search comes back inconclusive for me as well.
Im probably not going to build a super monster power car. Most likely in the 700-800 RWHP range. I am however wanting to beef up my short block so I can beat on it at the track RELIABLY. Not competition mind you, but just make hard runs every time. Id like to be at the track doing that 1, possibly 2 times a month for Friday night drags.
Im going to be upgrading the timing components here in the next few months. Depending on if I can reuse the pistons for my desired power rating, I may get rods, wrist pins, bearings and rings and pull the motor.
