Default WTB 408 pistons

Like the title says I need some 4.030 bore forged pistons for nitrous use. I can use anything from flat tops down to a 12cc dish. Or if any sponsors are having some deals let me know. I don't want to spend more than $750 including rings. Any good places to buy? I found the mahle powerpack for $766 shipped on ebay and can get 8% cashback but there is always a better deal.

I am not sure what your goal CR is and what CC the head you are using is, but I have some pistons in my 408 with 0 miles and Total Seal rings, they are SRPs and have a 32cc dish. They are in my 408 I built for my turbo project in my Camaro. I know it is more dish that you wanted but I didn't know if it was something you could work with

that CR would be way too low. I am using 64cc heads and want 11.0-11.5 CR.

With a 64 cc head and the stock MLS gasket that would be right at 11.1 so that would be right at your target

Flat tops would give me 12:1 CR and 8.8 DCR using my 64cc heads. I'm researching to see if it would do OK on pump gas. Right now it looks like I'm better off doing some 8-12 dished pistons so I can have 11.5ish compression. I'll let you know though.
