Default Forged 6.0L LQ4

Been looking around and seeing several manufacturers making forged internals. Anyone with pros and cons about specific companies? One that might be better than most?

For pistons I would recommend looking at the Wiseco stuff. They have high quality piston with a thick crown that also comes with a steel top ring. We have pushed these pistons very hard in the past and they have never let us down. For internals I would look either to K1, which is Wiseco's rotating parts, or Lunati. Both companies come with a solid reputation and the parts work great these kinds of builds. We offer rotating assemblies featuring these parts, if you need a quote or have any questions feel free to send me a PM or give us a call at the shop!
