Default banshee pro-x or wiseco pistons

it is time for a rebuild on my banshee.i am running pro-x pistons right now and was wondering if the wiseco superlites or vito's power pistons give you more power or if i should stick with the pro-x's

While I don't own a Banshee myself, my cousin does and the first time he rebuilt his he used Pro-X pistons. He said that was just a joke. He only got them because they were cheaper, but he didn't know anything about them. From what I ahve been told, they are cast pistons, no better than stock pistons except for the price. Go with the Weiscos, they have proven themselves to be a reliable 2-stroke piston. As far as 4-strokes are concerned, I have heard conflicting stories, but that is neither here or there.

Just remember to let it warm up good so it dosen't sieze. I used wisecos this time around but I have barely run it so I cant speak about reliability, they shouldnt be much difference from stock as far as reliability. Dont buy any of them funny pistons that modify port timing squish or compression though, especcialy if your motor has already been ported or had the head modified.

the superlites are just a modified pro-lite piston i think the piston is just lighter i don't think they modify the dome or any thing like that do you think the superlite would be better?
