The block I am using is from a 95.

The pistons are nowhere near a fake forged. They are Hypereutectic cast aluminum. Hyper pistons use a higher silicon amount. For an NA motor they are fine and can / will take a beating. They have a bad wrap because they don't handle detonation as well as forged (see: they can shatter) but your car shouldn't be having detonation issues in the first place.

I have been using hypertechs in the GT with the ProCharger for a while now with no issues. They have tighter piston clearances so blowby can be minimal with them... Again if a power adder is used just make sure the tune is good.

What lol!?

They are Hyperuetectic, like someone had stated. They resist shrinking & warping better than forged, so clearences as stated are tighter. They also are quite a deal lighter then forged, less rotational mass.

You can use it,the only real difference shoud be how the accessories mount up.On a 95 they are tighter to the front of the block.Ive done it before,but i think i had to use all the 95 brackets so the water pump and balancer would line up right.

so i could use a 93 water pump on there??

Just make sure the water passages line up correctly and and all pulleys line up and you should be good.
