Forged or Hypert. ? There's so many choices... if you want the BEST, youre gunna have to come up with a huge sack of dough!! I just got Hypert. sealed pro pistons from summit. they were only 280 bux for the kit.. theyre decent, however Im not spraying or blowing it.. it just depends what you're doing with the car. There's alot of options.

Go forged if you can afford it, it may save you money in the long run. I got probe ultralite forged alum. ones and they are about half the weight of the forged stock ones I replaced.

I bought Trickflow heads and bought the forged Trickflow pistons to go with it. Pistons are made by Probe, but valve reliefs match the twisted wedge design of the heads. Costed an arm and a leg, not sure if it was worth it either (for the pistons, I mean, 500 for the set)
