Building An LS-Based Drag Racing Engine? MAHLE Motorsports Has Domed Pistons For You!

While the worldwide appeal of the LS engine as a hot street performer has been exploited for years, the engine has finally begun to make inroads in the upper realms of sportsman drag racing as well as small tire heads up action. Because these engines have different needs and priorities than a street engine, the way they are built requires different pieces and components. Max effort engines want max effort parts and these domed LS pistons from MAHLE Motorsports are there to fill the void.

Using the company’s triple coating process that starts with a dry phosphate coating, continues with MAHLE’s proprietary designed Grafal coating and then finishing with has anodizing of the top ring groove, the slugs are really designed for a battlefield environment on the track.

The pistons are also machined to work with available cylinder heads. That being said MAHLE does offer custom piston options so if you have questions about your application give them a call at the number below!
