Adam, send it to Cliff Ruggles...he is, in my opinion, the best Q-Jet guy in the country. I can't seem to find his e-mail address, but he is well known on the various Pontiac Boards.

Used to use Badger pistons in many of the stock rebuilds I've done over the years. They worked fine, but I believe all their pistons are cast. What is you intended application??

I agree with Will (with the same disclaimer!!) A stock GM HEI with a performance curve dialed in is all you will need.

Carl, you might want to also contact the folks at Ultradyne cams. They have a 223/231 grind that might be good for your application.
