Default Full Floating Pistons Pins or not? Comments?

My new forged pistons are made for either way. Some say full floating on 450 hp engine not required but is it a good idea anyway. It will be extra money to have the rods bushed. My other engine is full floating.

i would say that you dont need them for a naturally aspirated motor pushing 450hp, but if your using a power added like a blower, i would definitely run full floaters. theyre not really needed on a medium power motor that isnt raced and torn down all of the time. it is kinda your call, but i say you dont need the floaters!
