what pistons I just came across a great deal the other day a 02 long block with 12,000 miles for $400. I couldn't pass that up so I got it. I've already got a MS4 and full bolt on motor in my car now and I'm building a 9in. I thought this would be a great time to get those ported 243 castings Patiot has on sell and get some forged pistons with some valve reliefs and up the compression a little. I would just use my current MS4 cam those heads some nitrous and the 9in and I figure it should run good enough.
So my real question is what pistons(brand) would you guys recommend(stock bore)
EDIT
okay guys there might be a slight change of plans don't know if this will affect this any I think I'm going to get some scat H beam rods they are 6.125 length. I guess this will affect the CH and valve reliefs I have to get. Or do you guys think the Stock rods are strong enough. I know there good but I plan to spray the motor thought better rods would give me a little piece of mind with a 200 shot.

Can't really tell you which ones are better than the others but I am putting Mahle forged pistons, scat H beam rods and callies dragon-slayer crank in my ls6. Wish my tax return would get here so I can finnish this up and get it in my car.
