Howards Cams Pro Max Pistons: Performance Redefined

If you're looking to boost your Chevy's performance, the Howards Cams Pro Max Pistons for the Chevy 262-400 are the perfect choice. These forged pistons are designed to take your engine's capabilities to the next level, providing unmatched strength and reliability for serious racing enthusiasts.

Exceptional Engineering for Maximum Strength

Crafted from 2618 billet bar stock, these pistons undergo a rigorous heat treatment process, reaching a T61 condition (2618-T61). This advanced material contains less than 1% silicon, ensuring that your pistons can withstand extreme stress without compromising durability. Unlike high silicon content pistons made from materials like 4032, the Howards HRC Racing Pistons won’t become brittle under pressure, making them a superior choice for high-performance applications.

Designed for High Performance

The Pro Max Pistons feature a unique design that minimizes issues like "skirt shrinking," which can be a concern in high-RPM situations. Machined using state-of-the-art CNC technology, these pistons are built to endure intense heat and side loads without scuffing or damaging your cylinder walls. The radiused dome design eliminates sharp edges and hot spots, ensuring smoother operation and better combustion efficiency.
