Hyper vs Forged

The only thing that scares me w/ hypers is, I've been told that just the slightest presence of deto and you can say bye bye.

This is not even remotely true. Do some detonation with the hugely elevated cylinder pressures from large shots of nitrous and all bets are off, but for a N/A street driver you aren't going to break pistons from detonation.

Whats your thoughts on hypers, have you experienced mild to moderate pinging (N/A) and not had it go boom. I'm no expert tunner, I cant make any guarantees that my tune will be perfect and I might experience some light pinging at first. But, if it only takes one time to go boom than maybe I should consider looking at forged.

Yes have had mild pinging on many hyper piston motors never hurt a piston. Have you ever ridden in a RAM that didn't ping or knock sometimes? -94-99 Mustangs have hyper pistons and rattle all the time also.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated cuz I plan to buy some pistons sometime in the next week. Thanks

Hyper pistons are typically quieter on cold startup and lighter than shelf forged pistons also.

I have seen a hyper piston explode and take out a motor, but it took a 300 hp nitrous shot on pump gas. This same motor had survived dozens of passes on a mere 200 shot before the owner got greedy. Chevy motor.
