JE makes a very nice blower/nitrous piston in their line. I use the 14cc dished SRP ones in my 383 and they are very quiet on startup. Here's the LS1 ad:

Well known/respected for euro pistons, but lesser known in US. Probably quite good - they certainly have the experience and technology.

Diamond has made a big name for themselves with our LS engines. We use Diamond pistons on most of our engines, and have not had any problems with them at all. Bob

We have pushed the Mahle piston over 1500 horsepower with no problems and use them in many turbo engines we sell.

Mahle pistons in all the Ohio boys motors(by w2w) Will hold up to anything, unless you run 20+ psi on pump gas No comment.
