These?

Mahle

Bore:3.903
Stroke: 3.622
Rod Length: 6.125
Dome Volume: -4
Pin Diameter .927
Compression Height: 1.314

The Mahle PowerPak is a complete, race proven piston assembly kit composed of hand deburred, forged, performance coated pistons, high quality steel pins, round wire locks and low drag performance rings. L*felter uses Mahle forged pistons in many of our proven engine packages and highly recommend them for their strength and high quality GRAFAL coating.

Features:
Forged Aluminum Pistons
CNC machined crown
Hand deburred finishing
Forced pin oiling with machined drain backs
Lightweight slipper skirt forgings
CNC finished pin bores
Race Proven reliable round wire locks
Pre-fitted German steel high strength pins
Mahle's ultra flat ring grooves and low drag rings for improved sealing

Improved coating for less friction
The piston skirts on Mahle pistons are coated with GRAFAL by Mahle. This coating helps to reduce friction, increase scuffing resistance while improving durability and enable a closer fitting piston to wall clearance for significantly lower engine noise.

Did you call Mahle or Lingenfelter? Some pistons have more material to put up with the stresses of nitrous or boost. Some are designed super light for max effort NA builds. Without knowing that I can only pull an answer out of my ***.
