Wiseco Professional Series Forged Pistons
Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Gen HEMI
K472X25
Overview:
The Wiseco Professional Series forged pistons are engineered for serious racers and high-performance engine builders who demand uncompromising strength and durability. Designed specifically for the Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Generation HEMI engine, these pistons provide a reliable foundation for heavy to severe duty race applications.
Whether you are building a dedicated race engine or a high-output street machine, these pistons deliver the performance and resilience needed to push your build beyond factory limits. With a 4.080-inch bore size and a -15cc reverse dome design, they help optimize combustion efficiency and power output.
Key Features:
Wiseco’s Professional Series pistons incorporate advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to ensure maximum strength and performance:
- Forged from premium-grade aluminum alloy for superior strength and lightweight durability.
- 15cc reverse dome (R/Dome) design to optimize compression and combustion chamber shape.
- 4.080-inch bore diameter tailored for Chrysler 6.1L HEMI engines.
- 1.205-inch compression height for precise piston-to-cylinder fitment and optimal ring seal.
- 0.927-inch pin diameter for robust wrist pin support and reduced wear.
- Includes premium piston rings engineered for high-performance sealing and durability.
- Designed for heavy to severe duty race builds, ensuring reliability under extreme conditions.
- Set of 8 pistons, perfect for complete V8 engine builds.
Construction & Design:
Each piston in the Wiseco Professional Series is forged using state-of-the-art processes that enhance grain structure and mechanical properties. The forged aluminum construction provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, reducing reciprocating mass and improving engine response.
The reverse dome piston crown design helps increase the effective compression ratio while promoting efficient combustion chamber dynamics. This design is particularly beneficial in forced induction or naturally aspirated race engines where precise combustion control is critical.
Attention to detail in dimensions such as compression height and pin diameter ensures seamless integration with factory or aftermarket connecting rods, maintaining proper geometry and durability.
Installation & Fitment:
This piston set is specifically designed for the Chrysler 6.1L 3rd Gen HEMI engine, ensuring direct fitment with compatible engine blocks and components. Installation requires standard engine assembly procedures and proper ring end-gap setting.
No modifications to the engine block or additional machining beyond standard rebuild practices are typically necessary when using these pistons.
