I've searched to no avail for an answer to this. I'm looking to build a streetable 6.0 ironblock, it will be bored .030 over so I need new pistons. I'm looking to be around 450rwhp. My question is would buying some hypereutectic pistons be a good option for the sake of budget? Or would it be worth it to shell out the extra money to go with forged? This will be an NA build. Any suggestions as far as pistons would help too? Keeping in mind I'm on a budget (kinda) would a no name type brand of pistons be better than say speedpro hypereutectic?

 

Anyone?

 

Try waiting more than 2 hours and 24 minutes for a response.

The factory pistons are a hyper eutectic pistons.

You will have no issue's and its not necessary to buy forged pistons for your goals.

No name pistons might work but there is a reason they Don't have a name brand attached to them.

 

I would just get Speed Pro pistons, they aren't that expensive, right around $250.

 

Hypereutectic Speed Pros should be fine.

 

Thanks for the replies. I figure when I want to go turbo I'll build a 5.3 and drop it into an old shortbed truck. At that point I'll use forged rods and pistons. Speed pro seems to be the best bet as far as value goes. I've had a couple other brand suggestions to look into so I'll have to do a little more research on them. I appreciate the help guys.

 

Can't go wrong with speed pros I've used them many of times
