Pistons for boost?
I'm building a 408ci and I have come to a little bit of a dilemma I'm ordering a rotating assembly from Texas speed and am not 100% on what pistons would be good I was originally looking at the diamond ibf 28cc pistons bit it seems like every build I read on here people are using wiesco pistons. I was just looking to get some of your guys thoughts on what would be good.
I have settled so far on a callies dragonslayer 4" crank and ultra h beam 6.125 rods the heads are trick flow Genx 255 and not 100% on the boost level but was thinking around 20psi or so once I get everything figured out and confident that it won't blow (at least right away) I'm shooting to brake in to the 1000hp range eventually
Thanks for the input!

It seems wiseco were the first to design/tweak the piston for the 4" stroke in the stock liners, I suspect that's why everyone uses them. This was quite a few years ago, I'm sure everyone's copied the design now so the Diamonds would be fine. If in doubt run the Wiseco's the mere fact that so many do should make you feel good about them.
