ROSS FORGED PISTONS NEW TOP FUEL FORGINGS– New Top Fuel Forging.LOS ANGELES, February 14, 2007: Just the hint of scorched rubber and burnt nitro methane in the air sets your mind a racing and heart a pounding in anticipation of the drag strip spectacle to follow. ROSS Pistons brings you adrenalin packed moments you will ever experience again.
All the late hours in the shop and on the road, offered up in sacrifice for a tenth-of-a- second accomplishment, make sense once again. As the racer pulls up to that line ready to face down those lights, all the planning, building and tuning come to fruition.
It’s one more chance to push the levels of perfection.
It’s the drive of race driven individuals who can appreciate all these things. That has always inspiredROSS FORGED PISTONS to be at the forefront of this industry, by continually developing new and more advanced manufacturing techniques.
Out of this 30-year tradition, ROSS FORGED PISTONS is proud to introduce a new forging specifically designed to stand-up and thrive in the unique conditions inside combustion chambers of Top Fuel Harley-Davidsons.
(ROSS pistons were used in the Salt Shake and are finding their way into the BonneBelle and the Assalt Weapan.)
Made from 2618 billet bar stock and have been heat treated and aged to a T61 condition (2618-T61). 2618-T61 is the material that is used when fatigue resistance and durability are of prime importance by all premium racing piston manufacturers. This material has less than 1% silicon particulate content. High silicon content pistons (forged from 4032 or MS75) will not stand up to the most extreme stress placed on many racing pistons. If a crack starts to form in a high silicon piston it will continue until the piston experiences a catastrophic failure.
Simply stated, adding sand to the aluminum only makes it more brittle. In the rare instance of a 2618-T61 piston cracking, the crack will continue to an area where the stress is not as great and will then stop. Another advantage of 2618-T61 over the high silicon pistons is the ability to keep its shape under extreme pressure and high RPM’s. “Collapsed skirts” are not a problem with ROSS Racing Pistons.
