Hypereutectic.
Stock 502 with forged pistons runs about .005 inch, if I recall, maybe up to .006 but not sure how that translates to using a Hypereutectic piston which is going to expand at a different rate than a forged piston. |

Thank you professor for your time...I can't find anywhere how muc pistons expande.Looked all of your posts with that topic but nothing..
I will ask, though, why you chose hypereutectic pistons for a forced induction application? Forged would be better. |

I'd suggest you check with your piston manufacturer to see what they recommend for clearance. I don't know enough to guess for you.

I believe You have it backwards.

Low boost in an automotive application, you could probably do ok with hypereutectics. They don't tolerate detonation at all so boost must be kept low or the tune must be kept very conservative (or carb jetting very rich). The load in a marine application is more than automotive and the margin of safety will be less.
