Default Good internals for boosted 6.0 iron motor

I want to know what a good set of pistons and rods and rings are for a iron 6.0. I would like to be at the 800-900 wheel range I have done the 600 and 700 wheel thing and I want more this time around. I know theres alot of smart people on here so please help me out. I will be running it at stock cubes also no stroker motor. Also do you guys think I should go with billet steal main caps?

We use Compstar rods, Diamond pistons and Total Seal file to fit rings in most of our engines. Many of the builds in our project car section use the above combination, you can check them out here. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com...Car.php?car=46 Bob

I am using Callie Rods, Diamond pistons, Total Seal rings, and all ARP hardware. For the power you would like to make the stock caps will be more than fine, so do not waste the money on billet caps.

I am using a 4.00" Scat crank, but a stock crank will definitely handle 700 rwhp.

Agree with Bob, we use almost the same on our FI builds.
