| Im seriously considering running them in my new motor(s) for the pro turbo class. I was impressed with them on my old motor. Just have to budget for them. |

Fair enough mate, I think most people all want 94's, I've noticed a lot more 94's pistons only for sale, can't seem to find 90.5 pistons only, due to lack of demand I guess

92's would be ideal since you can get a thick-walled cylinder for them now.
That would be my choice. I could see a whole new 92mm turbo craze started by those.

Speaking of strong cylinders...
Paging Marty Staggs....
Who currently has the strongest cylinders for these 94's
We know of Autocraft, JayCee, AA , Mahle and Century. Anyone else?

A squishy motor runs so much cooler than n a non-squishy 94's are a non issue for durability and longetivity. IMHO, if you're going to bore a motor, skip past 90.5 and just go 94.
That said, I too would love to see an 85.5 version of the SS piston.

Pauter makes the strongest cylinders.
