I think it's sort of personal opinion..

When you say 'best', what do you mean?

There are virtually endless compression and bore combinations. stock, 406, 416, 426, and 440 are some of the common bores. Then compression goes all the way from stock to 12.5:1 normally.

As a general rule, the higher bore and compression you go with, the more reliablity goes down.

Now as for brand, I have 20-30 hours on my JE piston and have had 0 problems thus far.

i have 87mm 11:1 wiesco now that has about 20 hours on it now but i blew my head gasket so i ordered a xr400 head gasket and gtt head studs and im going to change to 426 11:1 but im torn je or wiesco the je costs a little more than wiesco but ive heard bad things about wiesco

JE! i know JE is the best because the NHRA uses JE pistons in the funny cars and top fuel dragsters and those have 8000 HP!!!!! :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Dont forget about CP / carrillo I recently spoke to a rep that said he could build me what ever i wanted in a piston ,but i have no issues with wiesco or je it really boils down to how good its built ,i have said it before alot of blame for failure is put on the equipment when it should be on the builder or rider.

i was looking at the cp but i didnt see a 88mm one but they look like very good piston

CP is also very good, those are used in NASCAR. i only said JE over CP because they make more and so more people have given feedback on them.
