I have a 440 kit in mine but I went with a Wiseco 10.5:1 from Thumper Racing. They had Wiseco make this piston to their specs. They told me that Wiseco didn't want to do it at first because they thought it didn't have enough metal. It was too light. It wouldn't hold up. Well, they eventually gave in and after seeing the results Thumper Racing had, the Wiseco Pro-Lite came out. Now this is what Thumper told me. It's all I know about it. I can tell you I am very pleased with it. Mine revs quicker now. I replaced a JE with this one.

Any 400ex we build here always gets a JE or Ross piston.. with the JE 10.8:1 and thinner gaskets you will be in the 11:1 range.
