Definitely go with forged pistons if thats an option! The pistons are the weakest link in the LS engines.

Well I would think the max of your stock pistons will be in the 550-600rwhp range. With good Pistons and Rods and supporting mods I have heard people running near 1000rwhp on stock cranks. I am making 630rwhp with stock heads still on my little 347 and 13psi
