The 3.2 ROW sets are around 2K - 1700 to 1900 if you can swing a deal - if you send your existing 3.2 jugs to ebs and get rebored for 98mm and get a set of JE pistons you are looking around the same cost... The good part about the JE's are that you can get them at almost any CR ratio - mine I got at 9.8 to one.

The downside of the ROW 3.2's is that the compression is over 10 to one = so a bad tank of gas and you'll be pinging.

Jeremy - are you using the JE pistons? I'm curious about them.
They seem to be very flexible in terms of being able to get all sorts of size and CR's.

I read in other threads and/or between the lines that people
feel Mahles are maybe more durable and/or less likely
to smoke, slap, or wear out as quickly.

Any thoughts or anyone else have thoughts?
