That kit, from to photo had KB cast pistons in it.

You can get a forged piston kit for less money.

DSS has one as well...and probably many others.

damn that is freaking cheap for balanced rotating assembly but, it has a 5.4 rod. I would make sure that those don't have the piston pin intersecting the ring. Could be why it is so cheap.
