6.0L Pistons...what to use... I have maybe changed my original plan and might consider going with aftermarket pistons in my 6.0L build for my SSR. I wanted to maybe stay on the stock side which would give increased power over my current 5.3L, but might do mild mods to help with performance.
I will probably use the stock bottom end and just run a decent cam that will work with my automatic and either LS6 or LQ9 heads (depending on what pistons I go with).
Who makes pistons for this bore size at a reasonable price? Anyone have any part numbers for the pistons?
Guys, give me an idea on what you would do with a small budget to get my 5.3L SSR changed to a 6.0L with some horsepower and torque.
What heads, cam, and pistons combo would one use for a person on a budget and would a person go with a stall speed to help with the automatic and cam combo?
This is my daily drive and what it to be a good driver, but also want that kick in the pants torque. I would like to see 425hp.
Names of specific products and combos are appreciated (with part numbers if possible).
I should be able to start building it within the next 2 weeks and have it in by the first week in June!

Rotating assembly I have a set of Wiseco forged pistons 4.00 bore new in box, I-beam billet rods new and a stock Ls1 crank less than 15,000 miles, moly rings and std bearings to go with the crank I can balance it and sell you the whole rotating group for 1,300 shipped all you need is a block.
