get the JE,it is better quality than the wiseco.my mechanic has been building engines since back when dinasaurs were still roaming the earth,he builds quads for pro racers and he swears by JE;) i have not met a cycle mechanic that felt different.

actually wiseco makes the pistons for off-road quads and motorcycles for JE

I would either buy the JE or the HRC. I have the HRC and love it. If I were to do it again I think I would buy the JE. The HRC is just a tad lighter and it is a Honda part but I don't think that justifies the $200 price difference. (Sometimes I wonder if JE doesn't make them for Honda???) If you got the money to blow go with the HRC stock bore 11:1 and a stroker kit. You will have one fast quad.
