well you could go , aries , wiesco , etc etc basicly any forged. but you dont have to go forged , a new set of hypertech pistons which arnt forged will easily dip u into the 11 maybe even 10 with the right motor setup plus there not that expensive and there a dame good piston.

Cp have fast become the best piston manufacturer in the world. They are used and recommended by most of the workshops I deal with in australia, and are well priced. Call Qauntum Racing Industries, they are the aust distributor, or Hi octane, who are another reseller. 6BOOST

It doesnt really matter what brand of forged piston you choose. But, if you are after the best as far as machining tolerances go, CP are the leader by far
