Default What piston are you running with Meth/ Who uses JE?

Im need some opinions on pistons.There are a few question I have for you guys in different areas so:

Has anyone used JEs in their forced induction engines, if so what ci, fuel and model of pistons.

Is anyone running straight meth (not just injection, no offense) in a race engine? If so which pistons are you running? Forced induction?

Im tossing around a race motor build and was wondering what has been tried and tested in pistons before I start a $$$$ trial and error approach.

JE, Diamond, Ross, and Mahle are all considered top of the line pistons.
Each of these companies has dished for forced induction applications. Many
like the grafal skirt coating on Mahle pistons and they can be had with rings
for about $700. Diamond also has both skirt and heat reflection coatings for
their high horse apps.
Only ring gaps would change as a result of running meth.

JE is one of the best, as stated they and Ross are two great companies that we sell in our shop all the time, you will not go wrong with them.

JE makes a great piston, but Diamond and Wiseco have a large selection on the shelf.

JE has been my go-to for many years, but now with all the new brands and products out there I didn't know if any other pistons have stood out...I would never buy a Ross or Mahle and trust my life/engine to them. Im not saying the the quality of these are poor, but just not quite what im looking for for this particular build.
