I'm looking at Wiseco custom flat top pistons with gas ports and a 2cc valve relief for AFR 225 heads

I've been using Mahle pistons in some of the lower compression ones I've been doing.

They are all good. We use Wiseco, Diamond and Mahle due to the selection they all offer and also Probe on some apps as well. I keep the 408 LS1 8cc Wisecos in stock always since we use quite a few of them.
