Katech Performance releases LS7 forged pistons
Share
Katech Performance is now offering its forged LS7 pistons to suit any application. The pistons are made to pass 422-hour WOT (Wide Open Throttle) durability tests and are designed in-house and machined in Katech’s own CNC department. Stocked in 9:1, 10.4:1, 11:1, 12:1 and 14:1 compression ratios, the company offers a piston for every LS7 application including engines with nitrous oxide and/or forced induction. Starting with specially made aluminum forgings manufactured of 2618 or 4032 material, the pistons are stronger yet lighter than production pistons. Additional custom features including gas ports, large radius valve pockets, precision flatness ring grooves, anti-detonation bands, accumulator groove, exact LS7 ring pack and land dimensions, tanged round wire pin locks and select hard-coat anodizing to minimize detonation as well as micro-welding of the top ring in high horsepower applications. Also, skirts can be Dart DCI MOS Teflon coated. Optional DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated pins are available to complete ultimate race durability packages.
