Any of the above would work fine. If they didn't, they wouldn't be in business.

And why do you NEED 2618 pistons? Even stock hypers will live at high HP if the tune is good. Its not power that kills them, its heat and/or detonation.

If you can afford them, good pistons and rods are smart. I say that, and I went stock.

My builder is high on the CP/Bullet pistons. He tells me the designer is very sharp and helpful.

I'm sure all you mentioned are good though.

Maybe give each a call?

All are great companies, I personally choose JE pistons. I highly recommend a 2618 piston and a quality rod.
