You need to read more of what we are saying. The Mahle piston "may" be marginally better than the Wiseco, but it may also be much worse. Is it worth the risk to find out? If you are going for 800whp, then it may be worth it. For a mild street car, it is definately not worth it.

Wiseco pistons are also coated and come with floating wrist pins stock.

You also need to look at the Mahle pistons more if you think they have a 3/4 skirt and the Wiseco has a 1/2 skirt. That is ridiculous. The skirt on the Mahle is much smaller than the Wiseco.

Dumb Ricer, since you are not as well known, what is your background? Have you built engines or are you just doing research on the net?
