For 700ish rwhp, I would use the money somewhere else.

What Pistons?

Mahle are side coated, if you order them coated from the manufacturer it's only more for 20-30ea, an extra 200-300 isn't bad for the insure not to mention 200-300 when your are spending several thousand won't make much of a difference.

I coated mine. For the money I thought it was worth it.
