Default Piston & rod trouble

I'm getting some wiseco or diamond forged stock bore flat top pistons, which ones would you recommend me? I am thinking on getting some scat rods, will I have any trouble with the scat rods and any of these pistons? Scat has 6.098 or 6.125 so the lenght will not be trouble, but im worried more about the pin or ring issues, hope you can help me, thanks

Scat rods do not have the correct offset for an LS, they use the same blank as they do for the SB Chevy. We've been trying to talk sense into them for about a decade.

That is the main reason I recommend Molnar.

OK stop. You're not allowed to begin enjoying it.
