Default package piston and rods

Hello everyone, I bought brand new GM LS6 block from here last Saturday. It is stock 3.898 as long Im going clean hone light before put piston stuff like that.
I want see if you can help me how I can find a package piston and rods together from ebay?
Id like run MAHLE flat top, H beam rods with arp bolts. The reason Im gonna built one for my 92 s10 maybe nitrous in future. Do you think MAHLE pistons are good?

Let me know, many thanks.

Anyone who experience done this? Look like I have to do my own research. All I know of to buy separate with cheaper. I'd like order Mahle pistons from eBay. Much cheaper than Texas speed cost. The rods wouLd be CnC-Motorsports.net

WS6Store has good prices on pistons and rods as well. I'd recommend a Wiseco Piston and Ring package, especially with nitrous. They have Stainless top rings and are 2618 alloy. Mahle are not much cheaper, but are 4032 and have plasma moly rings (neither are ideal for nitrous). Then, I'd do the Compstar Rods.

The Wiseco 3.905" bore for stock stroke ($649.99): http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...oducts_id=4575

And the Compstar Rods ($534.99): http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...g-rods-6-125-/

Thank you. As piston id like to stay 3.898 bore since the block is brand new no need to bore which more cost. As I think it gonna be alright to use Mahle piston I will just use nitrous sometimes only drag time. Do you think it will not effect it? Whoever had done with Mahle stuff? Don't you like lunatic rods? Does comps tar rods come with arp rods include $534.99? I checked the link it not say anything about arp bolt include,?

Also I have question for you about cam. Is howards cam good,? Is the size cam ok to use? Check the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/HOWARDS-CAMS-LS-LS1-LS2-CHEVY-230-232-625-625-113-ROLLER-CAMSHAFT-KIT-HOLDEN-/200847028503?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item2ec36a7117
