Questions on whitch rods and pistons to use.

[JET]

For the second time noone has said the Mahle's may not be better than the Wiseco's. The Mahle's are relatively unknown for a DSM though. So where is the supposed benefits of the Mahle? It is anodized, big deal there isnt a problem with the Wiseco's piston tops and they hold up to high HP.

Mahle seems to be moving towards some of the motorcycle pistons technology. That is really the leading edge, but even they say that the lack of piston skirt does shorten the life of the piston. For an engine that rev's over 13k the piston weigt really starts to become huge. The piston speeds the bikes are running were unheard of just 5 years ago. They are near F1 car territory (the Yamaha R6 runs to a true 16k RPM).
