Who Sells Diamond Forged Pistons?

I need to order. I ordered at Intense and they do not have the 10:1 in stock and say it will be between a 2-3 week wait time. I need to have these in a week! Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks,
Joe

I got the last set from INTENSE.......what do you mean you saved $200? Did they come with the pin and ring set? Do they have the 2 coatings on them??

I might cancel if I can save $200!! They come in tomorrow.

Yes they are coated. It was like $3xx for the pistons, and like 80 bucks for the ring and pin set

Something ain't right. I know INTENSE's prices are a bit "INTENSE" But they usually have pretty competitive prices for the quality service and items they offer. If they arn't the same price as another vendor then they are usually only a couple dollars more. I've had great CS from INTENSE and would hate for this $200 mark-up to be true. I'm calling INTENSE and Diamond tomorrow!!

Do they make them out of bald eagle bones and forge them in a kiln at the bottom of a volcano? Cuz if they do then that could explain how long I've been waiting...

Making pistions isnt exactly an overnight venture. But I'll amitt my ignorance in the process. Why dont you call them and ask for a tour of thier shop?
