thoughts on Probe pistons?....

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 07:37 PM

Anybody have an opinion on these?

Scott2001GT · December 8th, 2009, 07:54 PM

worst ones ever made...should give them to me do dispose of

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 07:58 PM

k... will tell boostang to toss them to you so that they are properly disposed of!

Scott2001GT · December 8th, 2009, 08:01 PM

haha good.

I don't honestly know to much about internal brands. I just stick with Manley,Mahne, and JE pistons.(heard they were good)

mustanginky · December 8th, 2009, 08:05 PM

from what I have heard, no experience here, probe forged mod pistons aren't that great, but the probe 5.0 pistons are.

mustang_gtr_99 · December 8th, 2009, 08:05 PM

good stuff, used them in my 2V with no issues.

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 08:10 PM

how much power were you working with gtr?

Dolbs4082 · December 8th, 2009, 08:14 PM

only type ive ever used is daimond,and they're great pistons.

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 08:16 PM

can get some .20 over probe 18cc pistons for 250 so just thought id ask!

Dolbs4082 · December 8th, 2009, 08:19 PM

What CR would that run you? dont you have some stage 2 heads?

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 08:37 PM

yeah My setup will consist of....

windsor block w/
*cast iron crank
*Manley forged rods (03 cobra rods)
*xxxxx forged Pistons xxcc

*Livernois stage II heads
*HP292 cams
*P1sc intercooled with 3.00 pulley

^till i get the d1 and get retarded with the boost. LOL

Dolbs4082 · December 8th, 2009, 08:40 PM

awsome man! too bad you didnt live closer! i'd hook you up with some labor on the motor if you'd hook me up with some paint! haha

dcook_14 · December 8th, 2009, 08:43 PM

I was going to buy those pistons from boostang but I've heard nothing but bad things about probe

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 09:09 PM

yeah same here. and dolbs yeah bro, we could for sure hook it up but just one thing....

I want my cams to go on the correct side. LOL! Does that mean i can paint your bumper the wrong color? lol

ooooooooooooh!!! you gonna take that from him dolbs/11

Dolbs4082 · December 8th, 2009, 09:18 PM

haha baker, you can paint it what ever color you want, as long as the damn paint doesnt peel off in chunks like it is right now.

As for the cams on the right sides, i think i got that part down now, just gotta make sure i dont put them in facing the wrong direction. I really gotta be careful this time, because im gonna be pulling the motor here real real soon.

Boostang · December 8th, 2009, 09:20 PM

so baker when i come out there you gonna hook me up wit some paint

BakerFX4 · December 8th, 2009, 09:22 PM

what you got?

GTermi · December 8th, 2009, 09:22 PM

I wouldnt recommend ModMax.. my buddy gave me a set of the ones that are rating at 1000 and only after 20,000 miles they are destroyed. they are cracked and just junk, go with diamond or something that has a great rep

Boostang · December 8th, 2009, 09:25 PM

i got a car lol..
but my paint is also cracking on the finders and such.. it was just an all around crappy paint job..
