Ideal for enthusiasts and professional builders seeking to increase engine displacement and boost power output, this piston set supports stroker builds with a 4.050" stroke and a 6.125" rod length.
These forged pistons feature a -7cc dish top design and a compact 1.09" compression height, allowing for optimized combustion chamber volume and improved compression ratios. Whether upgrading for street performance or track use, the DSS Racing FX Series pistons deliver consistent strength and precision fitment for demanding rebuilds and engine upgrades.
Key Features:
Built for performance and reliability, the DSS Racing FX Series Forged Pistons offer the following key features:
- Compatible with most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram 6.1L SRT8 Gen III Hemi engines
- Forged construction for superior strength and resistance to detonation
- 7cc dish top piston design for optimized combustion chamber volume
- Compression height of 1.09" for precise piston-to-deck clearance
- Pin diameter of .927" with options for full-floating or press-fit configurations
- Ring groove dimensions: 1.2mm top and second rings, 3mm oil ring for effective sealing
- Designed for stroker builds with a 4.050" stroke and 6.125" connecting rod length
- Available in multiple dish volume options to achieve approximate compression ratios of 11.64:1 (65cc), 10.57:1 (74cc), and 9.52:1 (85cc)
- Precision manufacturing ensures consistent fit and performance across all pistons
Construction & Design:
The DSS Racing FX Series pistons are crafted from high-grade forged aluminum alloy, providing an optimal balance of lightweight strength and thermal conductivity. The forging process enhances the metal’s grain structure, resulting in pistons that withstand high cylinder pressures and temperatures common in performance and racing environments.
Each piston features a carefully engineered dish top design to control compression ratio and promote efficient combustion. The ring grooves are machined to tight tolerances to accommodate performance ring sets, ensuring excellent sealing and reduced blow-by. The piston pins are designed for either full-floating or press-fit installation, allowing builders to select the best option for their engine setup.
Installation & Fitment:
This piston set is designed to fit most Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with the 6.1L SRT8 Gen III Hemi engine. Installation requires standard engine rebuild procedures, including proper cylinder honing and ring fitting. The pistons are compatible with stroker crankshafts featuring a 4.050" stroke and connecting rods measuring 6.125". Builders should verify clearances and compression ratios based on their specific engine configuration and intended use.
What's Included:
- Set of 8 DSS Racing FX Series forged pistons
- Piston pins (full-floating or press-fit options depending on SKU)
- Ring groove machining for 1.2/1.2/3mm ring sets
Ideal For:
This piston set is ideal for performance enthusiasts, engine builders, and racers looking to upgrade or rebuild their 6.1L SRT8 Gen III Hemi engines with a reliable, high-strength piston solution. It is particularly suited for stroker engine builds aiming to increase displacement and power output while maintaining durability and efficiency.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
