Isn't it funny how you put a very interesting post on here and as always someone has to comment on the Drag Pack or the Mustang. Get a life guys.

BTW very interesting post. Back in the early 90's a guy who worked for my dad had a 2 cyl. tractor he competed with in a stock class at a tractor pull. We took the motor apart and replaced the stock cast iron pistons with a venolia piston. The piston was 3 pounds lighter but by the time we balanced it whole assembly and took over 20 lbs off the flywheel he won ever event he went to. If I remember right the venolia piston was over 1000 grams, but the stock piston 3600 grams.
