ICON vs DSS GSX Piston..
Before I drop $500-$600 on piston, I want to be as certain as possible from those with experience.
I was considering the ICON866-030 piston for my Olds 455 rebuild. I have the Eagle crank (4.250 stroke) and Eagle rods ordered. Speaking to my builder, he wasn't impressed with the 'short skirt' on the ICONs when he recently did a Pontiac 455. He recommended the DSS Racing GXS 6003X (w/ 2 value reliefs like the ICON) at 18cc dish because of the longer skirt.
My son works at Engine Pro and can get ICON piston as a discount but not the DSS pistons.
Any thoughts, I just want to spend my money wisely?
