Forged Piston Recommendations???
well you are not supposed to make the piston smaller just because you are coating it. you measure the bore, get the appropriate piston and then you coat it. the coating is so thin it really does not make that much difference. look at the factory pistons.

)If the Darton sleeves are longer for a longer stroke, best to talk to Wiseco or Diamond (etc) and see what skirt profile/length + crown/ring land setup they recommend for your application.

If you are talking higher than normal piston speed, what stroke are you talking if non stock 4" stroke? (its either a hi rpm engine or a longer stroke or both to be talking about "high piston speed" right? )

Yes. 
Does any one here besides me run Ross pistons? When mine came in I placed on up next to the Wiesco, Diamon, and the JE pistons, WHO what a difference. Check into them. If I am not mistaking they are the number one piston for NASCAR and NHRA teams. I know when I ordered mine they told me there would be a delay do to the Nascar season was coming up and they had to get all of those orders out first.
Ross Pistons, check them out, you said the best and I would be suprised if there is anything better then Ross Pistons.
