At one time, the small-block Chevy was considered the engine that revolutionized hot rodding. It was a staple with drag racers and those looking to put a better engine in their street rod or muscle car. A renaissance of sorts has come to the hobby, and the LS engine is now king. Wiseco Performance Products was there through the time of the small-block and now they are making waves in the LS world. I give you the Race Engineered Design (RED) pistons.

The RED series is not just another piston in the traditional sense. They offer strength and durability with precision-machined features that are unmatched and give horsepower enthusiasts a competitive edge. According to Wiseco, The RED series is the culmination of decades of experience in designing and manufacturing high-performance engine components, and we’re thrilled to offer this lineup of forged pistons to our LS customers.

These are forged pistons that are not only available for LS engines but also for a range of popular, domestic V8 platforms — like the traditional small-block. If you’re looking for your next set of pistons, the RED series pistons offer the ultimate balance of performance and value.
