Default Custom pistons - what company

Looking for inputs on best custom pistons, without having to spend $200 per piston.

4.155" bore, 4" stroke, N/A 12:1 compression. Piston oil squirters.

I really like my diamond pistons I bought for my ecotec but they were about $200 each with pins and rings.
if you can’t afford that you need to stick with sbe.

call CNC Motorsport they got me a set of Custom order 4.170 bore(410 grams )JE FSR 5 cc = 12.5 to 1 for NA motor (my RHS block already bore 4.165 didn’t want to bore it no bigger than I had to)
I paid around 970.00+200 for the upgraded wrist pins
I’m sure they can take care of you,and tell you what pistons will work for your oil squirters

RaceTec makes nice pistons. Their AutoTec line should be within your budget.

$200 max is for the piston alone. Not including rings and pins
