347RK2002 Pro-X Pistons: -3cc Flat Top/Twisted Wedge $1215.95
347RK2004 Pro-X Pistons: -18cc Max Quench/Inline/Twisted Wedge $1255.95

IMO, 347

That kind of false information misleads so many people. Rod to stroke ratio means nothing. If it meant something the big block Chevys and other motors with horrible rod to stroke ratios would never have been around as long as they have been. The piston intersecting the oil ring has nothing to do with oil consumption. The oil control ring scrapes the cylinders. How does a piston pin intersecting the ring groove cause oil consumption? It doesn't.

Some people actually believe that bullshit. Telling those fools wouldn't do anything. They are a website, they don't build engines. Guys that do this for a living will tell you rod to stroke ratios and wrist pins intersecting oil rings is nothing to worry about. Ask Woody what he thinks about this subject. Here are a couple articles from someone that does this for a living.
