Call up weisco and ask what the "JY dog" pistons are rated to HP wise. I've heard from 600-1200 FW hp from forum members and have still yet to hear a definite answer. Most of the names I trust tell me they are hype and no stronger than a 2005+ LS piston.
Best option IMO would be to bore it to a 5.7. (3.9x) and buy a piston known to handle the power you want. Diamond, JE, etc....

I think he will be ok with just a set of the JY pistons from Wiseco.

I've been talking with Martin @Tickperformance a lot about this since I want to build it right the first time. I also have a friend building a 1400hp turbo 408, but that is another monster entirely. haha
Thanks for the help.

DemonicZ,
You're in reno.. Go talk with Bill over at BME(Bill Miller Engineering) in Carson. He builds pistons for race duty vehicles, like Top Fuel and others, as well as street duty and everything in between.. Everything's done in house there for a great price, too.
