There are even BETTER pistons for them . They are the ABOVE 8500 Ft. high alt. pistons . They work really well down at much lower Alt. Just don't try this with and LP head.

Where the M+W's more powerful them the firecraters?

D Slater · Jan 20, 2014

M&W advertised between 57 and 58 belt horsepower in a 4-1/8 450. Don't know the conditions of there check. IH stated that the standard elevation fire craters for a 450 made 60 horsepower at the flywheel in testing corrected to sea level. Said to normally expect 54 to 55 at the PTO. Results may very.
