My first impressions are nothing but positive. The pistons and rods needed no balancing done compared to stock Gen IV pieces. I've only got around 800 miles on my build, but I had a few "uh oh" moments during tuning and working out bugs that I think could have killed a stock piston. Leaning out under boost a few times being the primary one. They took all of it in stride. I still haven't got a dyno tune done yet, but I have no doubt they'll be up to my 800 RWHP goal, and even more when I decide to upgrade.

These are the exact pistons I have: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-2999273810-2
They're 2618. I believe Summit also has a house branded piston that is not in their Pro LS line, and that may be 4032.

I also considered getting this kit, my bore is 3.800 and this is the only kit I found that I can buy that has that size. Price really isn't any different then me buying separate but it does give me a piece of mind knowing I'm not verifying piston to rods specs as they match it for you.

Pretty sure Wiseco makes Summit pro LS pistons. I had a set of Wiseco professional pistons and compared them to a Pro LS and they looked the exact same they even use Wiseco wrist pins

@Shownomercy,
The 4032 coated forged pistons you found were designed as a middle ground between stock replacement hypereutectic pistons and our 2618 Pro LS line. While we don’t currently offer 2618 pistons for an SBC under our brand, we do work with a wide range of vendors who provide 2618 options.
If you need help selecting the right pistons, feel free to reach out with details about your build. Key info like bore size, stroke, rod length, pin diameter, flat top or dome preference, and the compression ratio or cc range you’re aiming for will help us guide you to the best option. We’re here to help!
