My shortblock is nearing the finishing touches and I need to get the pistons over to the machinist. Given that some go with the Ferrari of pistons(Diamond?) while others go with Kia of pistons(TRW) I want something in the middle of the extremes. I'm going with 14 to 17 psi on my T76 w/MPS Wheel on a 4340 forged crank 355 LT1, using Realquicks Log Manifold for the hotside. The car is going to be a daily driven/weekend track application. The static compression ratio is going to be 8.5, the block zero decked, the heads ported LT1 castings (I/E flows of 275/195), 60# Mototrons, PCMforless turbo tune, TurboSmart 38mm WasteGate, TurboSmart Megasonic Blow off valve, OBX Intercooler. You guys with 'real world' experience in piston selection, could you recommend a piston/ring (and possibly a vendor) that would satisfy the needs of such a motor/application? I'm ready to buy right now. I'm ordering the 5.7" H Beam rods (Rated to 1,000Hp) right now as well.
Thanks!

I would say Wiseco custom pistons and Hellfire rings.
