Any suggestions for forged dished pistons.

Hoping that I don't have to get custom ones. It for a SBC with a 4.040" bore and 3.75" stroke (5.7" rods). I have 76 cc iron heads and looking to get ~8.5 : 1 compression. So I'll need a dish type pison with about 19 cc of volume.

BTW, this is for a supercharged application.

Thanks

I'd go with the SRP's, even if you could get the TRW's. SRP's are more exspensive, but I think the quality is worth it.
