Default piston preference for blown 408?

I plan on running around 9:1 compression with 12#'s of boost. Any favorites or input?

I've always had very good luck with Ross pistons on any build-up that I've done. I've used them in 13.5:1 400 small blocks, to de-stroked 377's, to 10:1 355 cube street motors, to 25psi 3.8 turbo buick build-ups. Their forged pistons with floating wrist-pins are top knotch in my book.

I am going to order a set of -20cc dish pistons from Diamond here shortly for my 408 FI setup. With stock size LQ4 heads, it will put my compression ratio at 9.2:1.

Give Chris @ Diamond a call. He can spec out a piston that will fit your needs perfectly.
