I am ordering a 416 kit on monday and I am not sure what piston i want to go with. I know they are both good but which one would be a little better? I want a 10.8:1 compression piston and run an XR head gasket. I am just wondering if one of them is a little better than the other.

Thanks for all info!;)

i believe they are both around the same quality, though i believe the ross is lighter whihc will make you rev faster

You can't go wrong with either one. Ross is just lighter so it will rev faster.

I just received my JE piston, however either one is good quality.

Colby told me the Ross was lighter and should rev higher.

Ross and JE cost about the same. I got mine directly from Ross for $125.00. It came with the piston, rings, pin, and circlips.
