Fingers, what key parts of the piston in the crown region did you view as most important when doing your bowl change?

So the pad areas on top and the ring lands were kept the same besides the obvious elongation of the bowl into the oval shape?

Pad areas, I mean the flat top portions of the piston crown.

Since the real problem was more mass over the pin, would adding the lip back in help improve swirl and combustion and therefore make more power? Maybe the FEA program would answer this best as to the strength part?

Not everyone talks about what they are doing. I know at least one customer is north of 1500 with a set at cast pistons. The guys with forged don't talk much.
