forged piston?

[CC801]

who makes a good forged piston for these motors?i know i have to use a dished piston,but want somehting a little better then what i have now.i picked up my ty today from pinellas50.motor was out of it,and it has been rebuilt recently.for some reason they put in eagle h beams,but kb 118 pistons.the rings have not seated properly and it has a lot of blowby so im going to replace pistons/rings bearings before it goes back together.just looking for decent forged pistons,personal experiences with diff manufacturers is also appreciated.

I am running SRP pistons with Clevitte rings and haven't had any issues with them. They are quiet, cheap, and I have about 20k on my motor with out any issue....

Typically TRW < SRP < JE Extreme Duty

But there are people that say the TRW hold up to higher boost than the SRP's.

SRP is made by JE also..

I've yet to see a TRW fail that was the fault of the piston.

Re: forged piston?

TRW is heavier, but that isn't all bad.

SRP is JE's lower end line, good stuff but a lot of debate if they are good for turbo apps or not, few failures have been around.

TRW's are cheaper, and the extra weight for a motor that isn't spinning past 6k probably is not going to change much of anything.
