I've had 3 sets of diamond pistons and the only bad thing I can say about them they are typically on the heavy side. Nice quality though.

Callies is at least as good as Lunati if not better.

And Harland Sharp has been around for years and is a good company but. Many people have made more than 1000rwhp on stock rockers. I wouldn't waste my money on aftermarkets. I've only ran stockers and am completely happy.

My #1 piston for gen3 engines is probably Mahle. I've never run them just seen the specs and held a few in my hands for examination. They just never had what i needed off the shelf to run them vs cost of customs.

Sounds like a good set up. I wouldn't go with a longer than 4" stroke for longevity unless it was a tall deck block and a longer rod could be used to ease up piston rock and side loading on the cyl.

Yes, it is Justin's (F8LZ71) truck. Built 5.3l custom twin turbo by Rick. I'm waiting to see it run!
