k im building a n/a block and i was thinking about adding a little shot like a 35 or 50 shot i know the zcpistons have weak ringlands but on a 35 shot would they bust?
nitrous + pm7s

possibly, but a lower compression stock piston would be able to take more nitrous and you'd make more power and have better times. i would say that high compression and nitrous you'd be asking for problems without forged pistons and maybe rods if you wanna give a shot worth giving it.
ya i was looking for some p28s but found p29s with rods and prettymuch everythings allready coming together for the build but im not sure i might give it a try
migth as well worst that could happen on that small of a shot is crack ringland...ihope lol fuck it new zc's are like 140 bucks
the zc's have weaker ringlands then say a p28 pistons
what block and what head are you running?
i ran pm7's in my a6 motor and sprayed a 50 dry shot with no problems.
as for compression, mine at the time came out to 11.3:1, and it loved spray! lol now it's 12.2:1 and it did love spray untill the nos jet broke off from it's flange making it open just like no jet at all and making it like about 1,000,000 shot! lol when i sprayed it, it blew the head gskt and wiped out the ring lands big time! just from a short hit of that much spray! lol i shut it right down cause i knew something was wrong, but it still did the damage! lol
anyways, if you're buying new stuff, it's better to go with high performance pistons, but the pm7's work great though!
i've also sprayed some of my d16a1 motors with a 100 shot and never had any problems. as long as you tune it right for the spray, you'll be fine!!!

well it's a z6 block b7 head so its pretty much an a6 think i'll probally try out the 50shot the comp/ratio comes out to be about 11.4:!
wow, with a z6 block, b7 or a6 head, and pm7's, you'll be running 11.98:1 compression. that's with the thick a6 head gskt. it'll be 12.37:1 with the thin metal gskt!
that's kinda high for pump gas!
at 12.2:1, i have mine detuned so i can run 93 oct in it on the street.
it really loves it when i put some 110 in it though! lol
i just checked it on zeal calculator and it was 11.4:1 lol with the 2layer and on the z6hg it was 11.0:1 lol i'm from slc we had my buds teg on 13: on pumpwow, with a z6 block, b7 or a6 head, and pm7's, you'll be running 11.98:1 compression. that's with the thick a6 head gskt. it'll be 12.37:1 with the thin metal gskt!

i just did it on the compresion calculator too. lol
remember that the Z6 block has .000 deck hight and with pm7's, it gets the compression up there.
and sure you can run 13:1 on pump gas, but not without being tuned for it.
we have an LS with 12.9:1 on pump gas, and it runs ok but it's not running like it would on real fuel and being tune for it, lol
i have a perfect set of p28 pistons on the rods i will sell them cheap make me an offer. i can have pics on friday. but i assure you they are clean and perfect. pulled out of a d16y8 with 60,000 miles and replaced with forged.
oh i almost forgot, no matter what ever pistons that you go with, be sure to at least use ARP rod bolts if you're using the stock rods!!!!!!!!
they're well worth the small price to keep you from tossing a rod through your block !!!!

oh for sure man, im using arp rod and head bolts i know the tuning comes into factor running high comp courtney green did my buds teg
maybe you should sand the tops and get them coated man.
depends man i'd probally end up running a 50 on the pm7s anyway, i dont want to rely on the bottle at all times either thats why its going high comp
so youd rather lose 25 whp from spray and gain maybe 5-7 from high comp? your math is backwards
