Go with the forged. Here is a pic of mine.

good pistons for under 400? not going to happen, good pistons are trick flow, ross or trw.

Mine Are TRW, and cost me around 300.00 bucks, don't know exact since i bought them in a kit from summit. They are forged, flat top. I was always told to go with forged when every using forced induction. Without Forced induction, a Hyper piston will work just as well. But i plan on nitrous.

personaly i would use forged pistons for anything, its insurance that it will hold togeather longer. 300? thas a good deal. i was going to get 11.5 comp pistons when i rebuilt my motor but i did not have the money

If you need to ask what pistons to run in a 700-800 hp engine then you probably do not have the know how to build it. I have a n/a 720hp big block with trw's. I have spayed it with a 275hp shot no problem. for those who are realy wanting to buy pistons save your money buy a good set like ross, JE/srp, trick flow, or mahle. I have had very good luck with trw's but they are pretty heavy.

are the trws you got from summit fly cut or whatever to clear valves from big cams and aftermarket heads?

I'd hope so...
