I wouldn't use Mahle. Use something with the stronger alloy.

i have the mahle pistons,work great . unless he plans on having over 700 rw the mahles are more than adequate. they can handly probably around a 150- 200 shot reliably. just my $.02

Building a forged motor to keep just a 150-200 shot on it? Weak sauce! LOL! Just kidding. To each his own.

a few full throttle pulls on the dyno should help break it in.... also drive it on the street for a few full pulls as well thru 2 or 3 gears.... and let it cool... and do it all over again.
