just wondering , do most of the shops buy the piston blanks from the same suppliers ? like Alcoa etc ? When you buy a big name brand piston are you really paying for the "name" I need 50-60 pistons (all the same) made but the local "name brand" place wants $100 each for piston,pin and rings, That seems like a lot for a "street" piston.
