1426cc? But the badge on the back says 1275! :roll: :lol:

Sounds awesome. How hard are pistons for that size to get?

Cool, I was going to suggest 18cc dish 'turbo' pistons, they are expensive, but would mean a lot less chamber opening, not to mention they are really tough! But I then realised, they only make them in 1380cc...Bugger.
