As you guys know, i'm not as experienced as the two of you who are having this BEAUTIFUL conversation that i'm loving, but i'd still like to pipe in. Sorry if it is causing any annoyance or the like. Can't you use a forged piston and that would bring the weight levels back down to an "early" b20 piston? Also, I'm sure i've seen people shave and shape the bottom of their pistons within reason to reduce the weight of them. Would that be possible with either a forged b21 or regular b21 piston? And then lastly, doesn't a good 4-1 header produce power at a higher rpm than a properly tuned 4-2-1 which produces a wider, albeit slightly lower max hp?
