Diamond makes a very good piston. Here's another thread with some member preferences...http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265361&highlight=pistonhttp://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=265361
You'll need to know how much compression you want to run. Type of head and cc size of your head chamber, gasket thickness and etc.

Ross, Probe, Diamond, JE, CP and a couple more. You'll need: bore, stroke, compression dist and dish volume. Depending on your engine build and combo, you could probably find an off the shelf piston for your engine....

Ive got a new dart block, thinking a 3.75 crank and 4.0 bore. the s480 is suposed to go 1100-1200 so Id like to get as much of that as I can. Any and all help is appreciated. I can give you a list of what Ive got so far.

S480 is a real nice budget unit. My sbf went 8.80's with it at 3065lbs in a mustang on pumpgas. That hp range in a stretch tho. Maybe a worked bullseye unit with a race cover.

I've had great sucess with Arias and having Mike Nelson as a fellow racer and builder of nitrous and NA engines give him alot of knowledge on what works and doesn't work. you can't go wrong with most suppliers but off the shelf and 1200+ hp don't go hand in hand.

In a boosted piston it just needs more beef everywhere. I use a .220 wall pin with pin buttons .017 ***** top ring. The ***** will help seal the ring to cylinder wall use the AP series. I also run 25# high tension oil ring with a napier second. Just make sure your current crankshaft has room for mallory if you go this route. When i buy again i'm going to skip the pin buttons but it sure makes it easy. CP has those light X skirt design but never tried them.
