Hello guys, I am looking into building a V8 SHO and I was wondering if the pistons were durable enough to withstand double (or even more) the stock horsepower. The SVT Contour's Duratec 25 which shares the same bore x stroke and a majority of block dimensions of the V8 has 10:1 hypereutectic pistons. These should withstand increased horsepower fairly well, my only question is does the 3.4 V8 share these pistons or are they a different material/design?
