Hi Eric and list

The stock piston pin hole is not centered so each
time the cylinder fires the piston is pushed against
the wall.

Backward pistons tend to push the piston towards
the center of the cylinder.

I think one gets a performance gain that is significant.

I think someone posted the fact that Kieth black pistons
are centered pin pistons.

We have very little cylinder wear , so we will reuse the
stock pistons.

15.2 at 90mph was best ever here in Phx we will see
how it does with backwards pistons.
