Howards Cams Pro Max Pistons: Chevy 262-400 2618 Forged 23 Degree Flat Top -5.0cc

If you're looking to boost your Chevy's performance, the Howards Cams Pro Max Pistons are an excellent choice. Designed specifically for Chevy engines with a displacement of 262-400, these pistons are forged from high-quality 2618 billet bar stock, ensuring strength and durability that can handle the rigors of racing.

Key Features

  • Forged Design: The forging process creates a robust piston that stands up to extreme conditions.
  • Heat Treatment: Each piston is heat treated and aged to a T61 condition (2618-T61), which enhances its structural integrity.
  • Low Silicon Content: With less than 1% silicon particulate, these pistons resist brittleness, unlike high silicon counterparts.
  • CNC Machined: Precision machining on modern CNC equipment ensures a perfect fit and performance under pressure.
  • Valve Pocket Design: Accommodates large cam profiles and oversized valves for improved airflow.

Benefits of Howards Cams Pro Max Pistons

These pistons excel in high-stress environments, making them ideal for racers and performance enthusiasts alike. Thanks to their unique design, you won't have to worry about "skirt shrinking" or scuffing of the cylinder walls, even under intense heat and side loads. The radiused dome design eliminates sharp edges, reducing the risk of "hot spots" that can lead to engine failure.
