Why do you like CP pistons better? I'm just going by my hours and hours of research. Im not dead set on any route, i'm just trying to do it right the first time. I know i want a strong bottom end. The only thing i don't want to do right now is have the block sleeved, or modify the water jackets in any way. So anything that will not jeapordize my block, im considering. After everythings back together and working, i'll work on the head. Reliability is key though... Thanks
