I just know that in 1990, Ford changed to Hypereutectic pistons in Mustangs, and they tend to fail(crack) at around 12 PSI of boost. I have found a set of these pistons for the 2.5, but am wondering if anyone has used them successfully. I am going to be running a lot of boost, upwards of 28-30 PSI.

Will these take it, btw, they are Keith Black Hypereutectic pistons.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Did a search, the consensus is that they are crap. I kinda figured it was to good to be true, but was hoping.

Venolias it shall be.

I wouldn't even use hyper-u-broke-its in a naturally aspirated motor.
