the duralites are not the race series ones, but they are still plenty fine, they are whats in my motor

the main difference I can see in them is they have a bigger skirt than the race series pistons.

these had a small skirt looked like they had clearance for counterweights.were quite a bit lighter than stock rod and piston combo.cam got paid for today dont have all the specs yet but its high in the 230's at 50 on the inlet dont know what the exhaust is yet

custom cut for the extractors style manifold could be out there on the exhaust to inlet split have to wait and see

it doesn't really matter
if they are duralites it will have it cast into the underside of the piston on one of the skirts from memory.... either way they will be perfect for what you want!

so if your saying that there is reliefs for the crank then its probably the race series ones you have.

yeah looks like the 2nd pic but more dished should be bulletproof compared to flat top 40 overs or stock 3.3 black flat tops with 20 cent peice size dish in the middle LOL
