$950 for good forged pistons is insurance, cheaper than a broken pile of cast iron.
The cast pistons "might take 10 psi a couple of times" I would not take them over 5.
Also throw in about $250 more for a good balance job.
Do not cheap out on the short block, it is the foundation of your build.

Man I get it. And I would tend to agree. The simple answer is I have to draw a line financially somewhere. Not to give you my life story but I'm in a bit of a time crunch as well. I was told Pistons would be a few months. I just don't have that kind of time right now. We are selling our house in March so to have this car in pieces when trying to pack up is not what I want. If anything I won't push it until I can get the Pistons and change them out. But it's just not in the cards right now.
