Default Pistons for ls3 heads

Im looking for a set of pistons and rods for my lq4 build. It's a 2004 6.0 iron block. I need pistons that have fly cuts for ls3 heads. I would like pistons that are .030 or so over stock bore. The motor will see nitrous occasionally. Thanks for the help.

Check out Wiseco's pistons. They use a "multi-fit" valve relief which will fit the LS3 cylinder heads.

I actually found the set I was looking for. Does anyone know what kind of nitrous these pistons will hold with proper tune? I only plan on 100-150 shot.

Im going to be using a stock crank. Any recommendation on a good set of fair priced rods for my 370 build?
