Which Forged Pistons?

Which forged pistons are the best for a motor with occassional nitrous. I plan on making about 400HP before the juice with about 200 additional from nitrous. Are the wiseco pistons a lot better than the TRW's? I would appreciate any opinions and comments.


Thanks,
CHris

all FM/TRW/Speedpro forgings are very heavy

I would be more inclined to use a KB than one of those forgings. High quality forgings are made by the dedicated companies - ROSS, Weisco, JE-SRP

i'd never run the kb's with a power adder. the trw/ferderal mogals are cheap stock type replacements and very heavy. for preformance type engines i'd be looking at ross, je, or a few others
