Probably because it might not be a checking point now. Not sure. Need to ask Tech. Back in 1972 you couldn't run replacment pistons. Had to run OEM.

Pin offset is no longer an issue that Tech is concerned.

David Frieburger (might be spelled wrong) from Hot Rod magazine, engine masters, road kill ect ect. Just posted within the last couple of days that they tried the reverse piston trick on a 360. They saw no changes on the Dyno.

Thats approximately 2.5% gain?

There is more potential HP in a corrected Piston pin offset.

I'm glad we all know now that NHRA DOES NOT TECH THIS FEATURE.
