but the best pistons are one that are hard coated and are made to be hard coated
Call steve morris about hard coated pistons their are a few other places that do them but im never worked with them

Realistically if you have melted several pistons and it has not scattered and hurt the rest of the motor, then whatever you have been using is probably decent, sounds like you know there is a cause to this focus more effort on finding that.
If you put a bulletproof piston in that is somehow able to stand up to what is going on then something else will just fail, the bearings will be hammered out, melt a valve etc.

Like said before, what was your setup that you melted a piston? Are you talking about a cracked ringland, or actually metling a piston. If you melted a piston, then it's getting extremely hot, which I would focus on cooling the chamber and piston no matter what piston you decide to run.

I had two sets of mayle pistons and my set up is a Tc-78 turbo 4" intercooler and dual meth nozzles I'm pretty sure my problem is how I have my feed line supplys the rails so I'm gonna change that and get bigger injectors so I can eliminate it being a fuel problem cause it's always been on the driver side that melts
