Default Wiseco forged Pro-Tru pistons ?

I just put a set of the Wiseco ProTru's into my 406.

The Wisecos weighed @ 480 grams and the new version Speed Pro Hyper's weighed close to 600 grams. I could not beilev ther would be that much of a differential.

How much HP can the Wiseco forged Pro Tru's handle?

I dont expect my 406 CI Stealth Ram to be higher than 500 FWHP max but I wonder how much "torture " others have put to them?

You should have plenty of a safety margain. My pistons only weigh 402 grams and my rods are 445 grams and they're both rated to 500 HP or so. Wiseco's a good name, not to worry.
