help choosing pistons i dropped my engine off today to get bored,baked, and bearings. but he cant do anything till i choose the pistons... i wanted to use speed pro forged pistons but he dont think its a good idea. either use hyper pistons or ross forged. ross are expensive. are there any other good budget OFFSET wrist pin forged pistons?

cant find a flat top forged probe with an offset pin with 3.48 stroke 5.7 rod and 4.030 bore wiseco has a set with rings for 560... choosing pistons is worse than picking out a condom! you dont know what you will like and once used you cant give it back

I'm using the same H Series bearing in my 8000+rpm race motor lol.......
also OP there is NOTHING wrong with speed pro forged pistons......i ran them in my 355 for years and never had an issue with them........only draw back is they are a bit heavy........i woulnd't be afraid of them though

Mahle powerpak pistons and the Scat 6" w/ 7/16 rod would be my choice.

all the mahle pistons i could find only had a centered pin instead of offset, yeah the bearings are a little overkill, i just figured they would help with longevity of the engine.
