Question on the pistons!!! - 4/24/2008 2:20:03 PM    snipingdude Posts: 225 Joined: 10/9/2007 Status: offline I really want to know, how they're gonna be affected after maybe 6 months of use with a supercharger attached, the stock ones on the 4.7L of course. And more so if nitrous is installed too. Anyone know how much "more" wear is gonna get done to them? Or is it just a matter of making sure to meet oil change dates. Im sure its alot more though. _____________________________ Argentumtron (2005 Dodge Dakota SLT V8) Transformer Dakota K&N FIPK Flowmaster Force II Catback Fastman TB KB Tonneau Future?

I would do some reading on S/C's in general to see what other people have done to their motors to handle the extra load. _____________________________ 2006 SLT 4X4 Quad cab V8. I have a myspace?
