Mines a blacktop, Alot stronger than a silvertop. A damn good engine in my opinion, My std engine had 14psi for over 30000 miles with no probs

LET pistons and Eagle rods are a no no in the blacktop, as the rods are longer so with this combination the pistons will hit the valves/head.

check out Focus Central pistons as they do forged zetec ones, that will give 8.2:1 c/r when used with eagle rods
