High boost pistons?

Hi, I'm just planning my high boost build, and was wondering what the best pistons for 25+ PSI are.

Thank you.

25+, if your serious call up any of the big manufacturers and they can set you up. Diamond, Manley, etc.
You better have 6 bolt block/heads, studs everywhere, etc.

Remember psi is just a number and efficiency of the setup is more important. What are the power and et goals?

what do you mean by crying? Also, what would be the ideal CR with this much boost? it will have meth injected, 93 pump gas.

This will be somewhat unrealistic considering your goals.

E85 and LOTs of injector and pump capacity will help.
