Evo 8 vs Evo 9 Pistons.
Which ones are better and why? Also can they handle same power or not?

i believe the evo 8 and 9 have different part numbers on the pistons so they are not exactly the same

didn't they change the rings somehow for the 9s? so they probably have bigger or different slots for the new ring differences
