what do you think of Powermax pistons for a 1380 cc engine, 100bhp? or should i opt for the omega pistons?

moved to technical and problems

When a friend of mine had to make the choice (offered by his engine builder) he asked what the difference was.

He was told (by said engine builder) that the Omegas were more of a race piston and also the engine would use more oil with the Omegas in! :rolleyes:

My 1380 is running 98 bhp with these, no problem. For road applications, this is a great piston

Likewise, my 1380's not short on power (14.6 quarter mile). I've rebuilt it 3 times in the last 15 years and I'm still on the same set of pistons. 100 hp's nothing for these, great pistons.

I've got a set of brand new Mega's sat on the shelf which I intended to use last time round, but didn't in the end. I doubt I'll use them so let me know if you're interested in a cheap set...
