F\S Diamond Racing Pistons 10.0:1

Turns out that at 30psi on pump gas, these pistons won't work for me as expected (and yes, predicted) Having said that this is a selling thread not a discussion one.
Anyone interested in these brand new pistons (the Intense ones) let me know. Cost is $600.US (firm) shipped.
I will be at work for a few hours so if there is anyone who wants them post here. First poster, first on the list. You get the idea.

I'm confused. Are they brand new or did you try them with 30 lbs of boost and find out the engine went KABOOM! Pics to prove brand new would be an awesome idea.

I am confused about what you are confused about. I said brand new pistons for sale. Brand new means, never used.
As for pictures of the pistons to prove they aren't used, not happening. People who know me and have bought from me know that I am straight up. I don't need anyones money by ripping them off. The pistons are at JBP and will be drop shipped from there once paid for.

I only found out about this 10 minutes before I posted but if you want absolutely want them, I will wait (I am not in a huge rush) as long as you get the info on the ______________ (you fill in the blank )

Dude calm down. Pictures are a fair request. The wording is just contradicting as I read it. No need to get angry at someone for a simple question that involves a $600 purchase...

I know I am a pain. I just needed to know before I pay someone else to come up with shafts that will hold over 750hp. My deadline is getting here soon as the expectation is early February the car will be ready for testing.
Anyways tell me if you want me to hold the pistons or not.

First I am not angry and I didn't capitalize anything indicating otherwise. I responded to what you confused me about. They are brand new pistons and the reason to chose not to use them, was a mathematical equation.
The people who have been around know that Diamond pistons were the ones I have had for months. They still look exactly like this

but I am not flying 3,000 miles to take a new picture.

I know this is a selling thread but i have to ask what compression/brand are you replacing theses with. You had posted a comment about running these 10:1 pistons, when i commented about using 8.5:1 for higher levels of boost and HP. ???? just messin with ya man but i really would like to know what you're going to use.

Oh yeah, that's a go Mike. I can even cut you a deal because I won't need to ship them.

We ordered some custom Wiseco pistons with 8.0:1. I guess we were both wrong.

I am glad I could make your day. I can just imagine what will happen when some other (un-named) members read this.

Just do it yourself. All you need to do is drop the oil pan to switch them out.

Pretty sure it is. Just gotta unbolt the rods from the crank, yank the rods/piston, and reinsert with new rings, bolt the rods in and done. Or I could be horribly mistaken...

Man, I must say....You are definitely falling victim to one of the biggest JBP dog ***** of all time........

Personally, I would get my car out of there ASAP if I were you. A friend of mine spent 10g on a turbo motor from JBP for his Cav and I walked away from him when we raced.....His car MIGHT be making 220hp at most. Not to mention this motor build took about 6 months and Mev lied to him over the phone as to the progress of the build. My friend paid a surprise visit to the shop only to find a bare block with his name on it, after he had been told that the motor was almost done!

I don't want you to take offence to this, it's just a warning...
