The only advantages you gain are stronger pistons. You will have a much harder time trying to melt these pistons over the stock ones. They handle much more power especially being forged. These are a good idea if you have more than 230ish HP. Someone please add to this and confirm my advise.

The pistons from CP are the best pistons in the industry. The quality is unmatched and the top ringland was moved lower to give more protection for high horsepower cars. We have never had a failure with these pistons. We have CP pistons in stock for $599.
