i am building a 331 stroker and im wondering what ccs my stock pistons are in my 94 gt and does anyone know a good set up. I like kieth Black racing pistons. Do you guys prefer different?
You don't wanna buy Keith Black Hypereutectic pistons they are junk. If you are getting a whole rotating assembly go ahead and pay a little more to get forged pistons.

In a N/A engine that will never see Nitrous or boost I like the KB hyper. If fitment is right they make more power because of less piston rock opposed to forged. I ran them in a 461 Cubic inch Big Block Chevys where no power adder was allowed. Because Nitrous is so temping I would go forged. The power gain is nothing the average person would ever notice. I think are great for budget builds. There is nothing bad I can say about them. You just have to realize that they arn't designed for big loads of Nitrous. I havent used a set of the KB Forged so I can't comment on those. I pretty much stay with JE pistons nowdays. I put Mahle pistons in mine this go round. They are a bit expensive though. If I were you and building and wanted to build using a good piston I'd look into a SRP by JE. Best bang for the buck in my opinion.
