What is the preferred brand of piston

Hey guys what have you found to be the "preferred" brand of piston for FI. I'm not looking for dished piston-something with a -2 to -4 releif is fine as I'm running the 317 heads and would like to keep compression around 9.85. Something to be able to handle 12-14psi would be nice.

Thanks!

I also would recommend Diamonds. Some also have good results with Mahle but I don't personally know anyone running them.

I would go with a -8cc Diamond piston, that compression is a bit high for those boost numbers.. Being around 9.3-9.5 would be more preventative from lifting a head..
