Piston ideas for a LQ4 build. Got me a LQ4 block out of a 04 Hummer today and need to get some piston ideas. This will be a DD with all the stuff I have listed in my other post. Not looking to dump tons of money in this bottom end build, but do want it to be able to handle maybe no more than a 150 shot easy. Should I go forged or will the hyperutetic pistons be fine? Also looking for at least 11:1 and stay on pump gas. Running a 240 244 .608 .612 112 stick and 243 59cc heads with 2.02 1.57 valves if that makes a difference. It Will be bored out .30 or better. I know on my LS1 I had to fly cut my pistons for clearance. So I guess I need pistons with valve reliefs already in them. Thanks for ideas and vendors you are welcome to chime in, cause I'm lookin to buy.

switch heads to the 799 milled 0.030 should be close to 11 to 1. And keep the oem rotating assembly. OOps scratch that, just re-read your post. You also wanted to spray it.
