JE sucks my fat hairy *****, I hate that company with a passion after the crap they pulled with my 418 build. Horrible quality control.

How much do these cp pistons usually run a set and do they come with rings?

Cody, I'm not aware of what happened on your 418 build. What went down as it pertains to JE? I've never heard of a bad word, unless it's how much they're stuff costs. Cause on my Camaro, I wanted to use JE. They told me ~$800 for custom pistons for the TFS heads.

But that project is on hold. One day.

Where are they based out of? I heard of another Piston company that was run by the former head of a big piston company. Don't think it was CP and JE though.

Cp is based in irvine and was started from former workers of JE. Cp is not as big of a company but that does give them the chance to make a better product over the JE

Jarrett told me of a guy who started Probe or something, and he sold his namesake off and started a new company, not sure if that was the guy. Doesn't sound like it though.

I paid $684 from their website including rings, pins and locks. I thought it was a good deal and the pistons look great.
