Forged Aluminum Construction:
CP Pistons are forged from high-quality aluminum alloy, providing superior strength compared to cast pistons. The forging process creates a denser grain structure that withstands the extreme cylinder pressures and temperatures in high-performance engines. Forged pistons are essential for modified Milwaukee Eight engines, especially those running higher compression ratios or forced induction.
11.0:1 Compression Ratio:
The 11.0:1 compression ratio provides a significant increase in power output compared to stock compression. Higher compression ratios extract more energy from each combustion cycle, resulting in increased horsepower and torque. This compression ratio is optimized for premium fuel and provides excellent performance for street and performance applications. The increased compression also improves throttle response and engine efficiency.
131 Cubic Inch Displacement:
The 4.310" bore combined with 4.500" stroke creates 131 cubic inches of displacement, a popular big bore configuration for Milwaukee Eight engines. The 131ci displacement provides substantial power increases over stock displacement while maintaining reliability. This displacement is ideal for riders seeking maximum performance from their Milwaukee Eight platform.
1.080 Inch Compression Height:
The 1.080 inch compression height is precisely engineered to work with the 4.500" stroke and achieve the proper deck height. Compression height is the distance from the center of the wrist pin to the top of the piston. This critical dimension ensures proper piston-to-head clearance and optimal combustion chamber geometry. The precise compression height is essential for achieving the specified compression ratio.
Precision CNC-Machined:
Every CP Piston is precision CNC-machined to exact tolerances, ensuring perfect fit and optimal performance. The CNC machining process creates consistent dimensions across all pistons, which is critical for balanced engine operation. The precise machining also ensures proper ring seal and optimal combustion chamber shape. This precision manufacturing is what separates CP Pistons from budget alternatives.
Race-Proven Design:
CP-Carrillo pistons are proven in the highest levels of motorsport, from drag racing to road racing. The technology and materials used in these pistons are derived from professional racing applications, ensuring they can handle the demands of high-performance street use. The race-proven design provides confidence that these pistons will perform reliably under extreme conditions.
