You will want forged pistons...titanium pistons will do you no good even if they did make them, because titanium is a bimetal, and would not go well with our block.

hey you could allways buy kevlar pistons, that way they would be bulletproof!!!
j/k if your lookin for good pistons go with what is tried and true, dont try some new shyt just becuse it has a fancy name,
titanium light and strong compared to other metals BUT if it was realistic then every racer in the world would allready be using it, and lets not forget it would cost about 5000.00 per piston due to the high cost of titanium!
