Which pistons are you running? all these threads about pistons breaking and im always hearing everyones opinion on which piston is better than another... so id thought id start a poll to see what people are running..
I have two sets of Wisecos and one set of Diamonds. I like a few things about the Wisecos a little more shelf wise. There's a thread about this in the GENIV internal engine section where everyone talks about what they have.

Yea, there are a couple piston threads out there in the internal engine sections, but I think the FI section needs one. Heres another piston poll thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...t-pistons.html
I ran flat top (-4cc valve reliefs) mahles in my LS6 with up to 16psi in the 700+ rwhp range and up to 20* of timing with no problems. The 370 im putting together right now will have wisecos tho since i dont feel comfortable with the mahle dished pistons. I've also heard good things about diamond pistons as well, but no experience with them.

FWIW I've seen Diamonds take insane amounts of punishment in the 3800 world with roots blowers (aka portable heaters). If their LSx stuff is on par with their 3800/3.8L stuff, it's good chit.
