Pistons?

I am going to have to put new pistons in my truck because when it was rebuilt 20,000 miles ago aftermarket pistons were used and they are now cracking. I have not decided what I am going to use yet. I may use marine pistons are maybe just buy another engine. Do flycut pistons like the ones from Mitchell actually increase horsepower? I guess the purpose of flycutting and cam is to get more air in? My truck is built for the street and drag racing, would flycutting pistons and a big cam help me? Are marine pistons good for any hp or are they just stronger?

Thanks
Rick

Re:Pistons?

A high lift billet cam along with fly cut pistons are a great way to get more air into your engine. It is a worthwhile Bomb its just a little pricy... thats why its usually restricted to only the exreme bombers such as the pullers. If you are going to get new pistons anyways and you have the money... go for it.
