    I would suggest using Eagle or SCAT 5.7 inch I-beam rods and TRW forged flat top pistons. Unfortunately, SRP, JE, Wiseco do not make lightweight forged pistons for it. I have used TRW forged pistons in the past without any problems. They are just heavier than the newer style forged pistons mentioned above. I am not a fan of KB hypereutectic pistons. A lot of people use them successfully in street-driven cars but I have always preferred the strength of forged pistons.
