Who said Alusils are dreaded?
I don't think they are "dreaded". You can't run sloppy JE pistons in them which is a drawback, but I don't think they are inferior to Mahles by much of a margin. Both Nikasil and Alusil have their ups and downs. If it is a full blown race engine and you are planning on installing aftermarket pistons, you may want the Mahles. I'd say for a set of "in-spec un-refurbished Alusil cylinders you could get $400 +/-??? I paid $900 for a set of refurbished alusil pistons and cylinders from EBS in '01.
I just don't think the Alusil cylinders should get a bad rap for street cars.
