My car is a 02 WS6, engine has 9k miles... I want more power but also want it to be strong.. my engine mods are
-Trick Flow ported heads
-Comp camshaft
-Harland sharpe roller rockers
-Fast 90mm intake manifold ported
-Nick Williams 90mm throttle body
-SLP air intake
-Slp under drive pulley
-RK t56 built transmission
-Kooks true duel with 1 7/8 headers and full 3in exhaust no cats
-New motor and tran urethane mounts
-Moser 12 bolt rear with 4.11 gears
-All rear suspension is BMR with an adjustable torque arm
-QA1 Adjustable shocks in rear
-Viking double adjustable in front

WHICH Comp cam?? And WHICH Trick Flow heads??? You have to tell us PRECISELY which parts you are using.

For boost you are looking at about $1100+ for pistons rings and rods. If you are just looking for moderate boost in the 5-8lb range maybe just some heavy duty hyper e pistons and a budget forged rod would suffice. That setup would run you $675.

what ever I do to it I don’t want to cut corners.. what pistons would you recommend? I’m not worried about the price so much.

Nice parts list you got there.
If you're going boost stay on the lower side of boring it. Or stay stock bore since you won't be depending on the cubes to make the power. I'd recommend a high end piston and a decent rod, not necessarily top shelf for your power goals. And honestly with your power goals you could get away with stock pistons and rods but if you have the money then I would absolutely go with forged rods and pistons for peace of mind. Plus wouldn't make much sense to not go that route considering the level of all the other parts you're going with. Tech@ws6 made some great recommendations.
Also, if you stay on the lower side of the bore size and go with forged pistons and rods and you ever want to turn up the power (and you will) all you'll have to do is turn it up..

I really wish there was a blue print to just go buy as I have no idea what I need to buy, I have the new 6.0 block but that’s it.. id like to just make my car stronger before I go boost.

Keep your heads.
What are cam specs? That will determine if you need a new cam.
We have those pistons readily available. $750 for pistons, pins, rings. You may want stronger rods also. Scat H beams are $440 with arp rod bolts. I like em and use em alot.

To be honest I bought the car with it so I have no idea, and yes I will be for sure contacting you as you have been a great help, would I keep my assembly or go to a forged one?
