Default Anyone used Probe pistons?

Anyone ever used Probe pistons? I was looking up pistons for a turbo build and came upon them. Are they any good?

I have seen them used quite often in 302 mustang builds. Nothing in a ls1 though.

Where those N/A builds or F/I ones?
Cause I'm building a turbo motor and I want to make sure the pistons I'm putting in aren't going to collapse under a little boost.

I dont know if the Probes are a 2618 alloy. Personally I would go with something more people use. Diamond, Mahle, JE

My original 383 used those and smoked like a freight train, in all fairness the skirt length was too short...

I was but it became kinda hard to find forged pistons in 4.030 bore and low compression.

I knew a guy that worked there when I was in college. I know all their cranks and rods are R.P.M brand relabled but I'm unsure of their pistons. The owner mark oneill(?) posts a lot on the speedtalk dot com forum. Coast hi-performance is Probe and yes a lot of their stuff is SBF. Correct me If I'm wrong.
