quadriplegic, The Diamond piston and file fit performance ring combo is $799, You can use a scat rod for $339 making the total $1138. This is probably the closest you will get to the $1000 mark with a quality piece. Let us know if we can help you.
Thank you,

Allan,
We do not recommend using the scat I beam over 800HP. If you use the TMS H-beam ($489 w/ARP 8740 $589 with ARP 2000) you are good far beyond this. We have customers running forged piston and rod motors over 1000whp without fail.

Lil John just came out with a custom boost piston for the 5.3 stuff made by Wiseco. The look to be a nice piece. Here's the quote from his FB post about it...
Ok Fella's... The Details on the LJMS custom 5.3 Boost pistons are finalized and I have 5 sets scheduled to be delivered on the 18th of this month. These are Wiseco pistons...Flat top with 3.2cc valve reliefs, 3.800 bore 1.304 pin height for stock stroke. They will be equipped with a 1.0mm/1.2mm/2.8mm ring package that has a Stainless top and Napier 2nd compared to the Plasma moly HF ring package of the shelf pistons. They come with the .200 wall H13 .927 Diameter Tool Steel pins standard as well.... I will take preorders on these 5 sets if you guys want them. Pricing for these will be 749.00 a set. That's 150 dollars less than the current shelf piston that's available and it has a better ring pack!! Combine them with a set of the Compstar Rods that I carry and I will do you a complete rod and piston package for 1299.

Run the Wiseco pistons with GFX rings and Compstar rods. These are proven parts used by many guys with boosted applications and they're reasonably priced. Yes there are more top of line options available, but these will live far beyond your power goals at a great price.
Just my $.02

John - they previously made the GFX ring pack in a 1.2/1.2/3mm and pistons that match, but not 1/16 1/16 3/16 for 3.780 and 3.800 bores. The part # is 3.780GFX check out the link below. Looks like some vendors either have stock still available or have Wiseco make this on special runs.
