Mahle Piston Pins

Hello,

I have a set of Mahle 81mm Pistons that cam with piston pins that are much heavier than pins I've used in the past. The wall thickness is much larger than other pins I've used. I weighed the pins and found the heavier set weighs 120.9 grams. The pins I have been using weigh 98 grams. I'm using the pistons in a 2-litre racing application. I'm worried the heaver pins will put more stress on the rods. Does anyone have any thoughts or know where I can buy lighweight Mahle pistons pins?

Thanks
