i was going to use a set years ago, becuase mahle were clients of mine before the australian operation went broke and closed down, they offered to give me a set of 8.5CR pistons, with the coating, etc to use, but becuase the CR was too high, i didnt take them. they dont make a CR to suit the RB series engine lower than 8.5.
Hope this helps

I know ACL pistons & Mahle are a group production. I wonder if ACL pistons(products) had taken them over.(brought the business) or vice versa

i havent used the mahle pistons in a rb30 before but have in a ls2 turbo, the car is making 700rwhp threw the glide atm and will make more but he was recommended not to run more than 20psi boost with them but he has and they are still holding up strong...

Ordered 2 sets from Mahle for my stroker and both sets come with Pistons out of weight tolerance. 7 Grams for one and 5.6 for another.
Cocksuckers as far as I am concerned.
For the twin cam head I like CP's and Weiscos.
