Anybody know if someone makes a forged piston to fit a stock 5.3? I don't want to pay for custom pistons or have it bored out and I think good ol' #7 took a crap on me.:argg:

I couldnt find one a few years ago. Wished i could have. My #7 smacked the head! Whats up with these # 7s?
Poor fuel distribution I think. What ever it is, it sucks!
You won't have poor fuel distribution in a port-injected engine, similar to what was experienced in the old carburetor days. It is probably related to a cooling issue, which could make #7 more prone to detonation.
I knew it typically ran hotter than the others and just figured it was a fueling issue. :doofus:
Wiseco just came out with some in november. I'm on my way home and when I get there I'll get you a link
#7 is the leanest because it's the hardest to get fuel to with stock rails.
