the cam will be fine
DO NOT USE HYPER pistons , they are just a cast piston that is very brittle , if you want to use a cast piston cool just use a cast piston they are less than 1/2 the price of the hyper , or better yet use a forged piston for a couple more $$ & if you want more power later on you will not have the cost of rebuilding the engine yet again
I was told by my engine builder that all pistons are hyper,even the ones marketed as cast,they dont make cast pistons anymore,persay,in the casting process they are dipped in silicone which makes a hyper piston(smooth shiney finish.So those Keith black pistons that are sold as hyper pistons are nothing more than todays current "cast" piston,or Hyper which ever you want to call them.The ones i put in my 383 were "cast pistons"but you could clearly see they were hyper,thats how the discussion came about when my machine shop(been in business 30 years)was building my 383,then the owner told me the story of "cast" vrs "hyper".And considering that even the old cast piston engines lasted 100k or so,today "hyper"should last atleast that long and considering i maybe will put a few thousand miles on my cars a year tops,the engines will probably out live me:)Thanks for the input,correct me if i an wrong.I just dont see the logic paying for forged if i will never wear the engine out in my lifetime,I'll let the next guy the owns them long after I'm gone,if we still have gas,rebuild the engine:)
