The stock 6.4 truck pistons are actually a pretty decent piston especially if you open up the ring gap slightly. I have a buddy who sprays a 175 shot on the stock truck pistons with nothing more then opening up the ring gap. He beats the hell out of the truck,and has been doing it for a few years now,lol.I kind of kick my rear on that one,as i found him the 6.4,and sold it to him for a $1,000 bucks,and all that was wrong with it was a bad lifter. In hind sight i should of kept it for myself,but that was back when i was getting warrentied 6.4's for $900.00 Canuck,and had picked up 4 from my local dealer,but after that they dried up,aarrgghh,lol Take a read through this article if you haven't already,it's worth taking a few minutes to read the complete article. The combo above will be a pretty decent combo as far as torque and power output goes,and should live a fairly long life,as you're not messing with the rod/stroke ratio,and putting more load on the piston skirt and cylinder wall.
