i wouldnt run those Mahle if they gave them to me...already tried them on my 402 TWICE...look at the difference in the ringland area with the Mahle vs the Wisecos that replaced them

look how thin that is.....

these were Mahle -32cc boost pistons...lifted the top ringland off on 2 different pistons in 2 different cylinders

You are forced-induction.. I plan on running the -12cc Flat-tops with the Reliefs in them, I am just going NA, without spray. Mine will be a little easier on the setup.
Here is the Cam that I am going with..

If you are going to be under 700rwhp, then they will be a good piston for you
