Je Pistons
When you want to make huge power, and we're talking boulder-hurdling, vehicle-flipping World's Strongest Man power, you need to upgrade your motor-namely, your pistons. In the business of power-making pistons for over 60 years, the following JE products are what Nick used in his pursuit for low 9-second passes.

Due to the unique ring package of Nick's pistons, like Kelly Osbourne's oversized crotchless panties, they had to be custom made. Boasting a 4-inch bore and a high 11.0:1 compression ratio, the JE pistons feature lateral gas ports (read: holes) to pressurize the gas nitride top ring for a more complete seal. Pressure-equalizing accumulator grooves between the NASCAR-approved 1.0mm napier (hooked face) iron second ring, and the 1.2mm top ring keep the top ring from lifting.

A proprietary JE Pistons skirt coating reduces friction, and a ceramic-based thermal barrier crown coating reflects heat so you know the pistons have been built for durability. Constructed of 2618 aluminum alloy, the aforementioned Ms. Osbourne after a week long bonbon binge wouldn't break these bad boys belly flopping on them.

Custom weary? Have no idea of what we just talked about? Those of you looking for an off-the-shelf solution for your EJ257 motor, JE offers pistons that are similar to Nick's set. Ask for the "donut dish" piston. Seriously. Cream-filling optional. www.jepistons.com
