Info on old TRW domed pistons

As little as .008 piston to wall? Yikes!
And racer net $640 almost 30 years ago?!? Were they nuts, or just gouging?

I think I sold over the counter TRW slugs in the 25-30 range back in the mid 80's. Everything in that catalog is high in relative price because it had a mopar number on it.
