I would for sure use billet rods this go around.
Ashley, is the piston bowl secret squirrel stuff or can you elaborate a little..? I understand if you keep it to yourself.
Thanks again!

i would say 1000 or so, the top ring is way to close to the top of th episton, we have problems with that ring swelling and or breaking. i had 7 passes on cut and coated and the top ring was already starting to go.. I was also walking my mains with just a 12mm girdle.. im guessing the truck was around 1200hp
We have never lost a stock 6.7 piston or had any ring problems at all. never had any problems with the mains either. We still use 12mm mains. We actually still used the stock bolts and girdle until this spring. The only reason we changed was because we were sponsored a 12mm girdle kit. Lol. We dont coat pistons anymore either. havent seen any problems with it, but we just dont see a need for it so far. Ive ran coated and non coated and havent had any failures either way.
us sled pullers must not be making the power that you are, sorry. A true girdle.
I imagine something wide and shallow.
maybe becuase its not a true 6.7 you dont have the bottem end problems that we have.
Like this?

Just to be clear here...
You guys are calling the block stiffener a girdle or are you reffering to a true main girdle (thick plate with machined main caps)? Guessing you may be talking about something different.
