The fact that many manufactured engines come with hyper pistons does not sway my opinion of them, I don't like them.

Manufacturers like them because their quiet, cheap and will the job "good enough" for the design of that engine.

Detonation can and will happen at some point. While "dialing the engine in", playing with different settings, etc. Most likely the hyper pistons will still be "OK" with some limited detonation (limited in time and severity).

NOS? Turbo? Super charger? Don't even think about hyper!

,,,,dump the high volume oil pump, it was cause more trouble than it's worth.
