Question Anyone hear of Diamond Power Pistons

I found some 4.8 flat tops made by a company called Diamond Power. Not sure of how good there are so I would like to defer to some of the experts on here. They are only $100 for the set which includes the wrist pins too.

Are these any good?

Simple ebay search turns them up. I'm guessing they are Chinese. I don't see anything about them being Hypereutectic.

Diamond power also makes a full engine gasket kit with all GM MLS gaskets. Including the head gaskets. I put that kit on my Lq4 it was pretty good quality. If anyone's interested, I think it was around $150. Part # DFS4121.
