Forged, Cast, or Hyper
Well what would be better. Lots of people say cast is britle and prone to cracks in high output engines.
Others say Forged have a less stable rate of heat expansion, but can take the abuse.
What About hyperutec?
I can get a set of rings, pins, clips, cylinders, and 10 1 pistons for under $380.
The pistons are Keith Black, with the coated skirts.
Pro s cons any info welcome

As Kirby has mentioned, the industry inside joke has been for some time, "What do the initals KB stand for??" Ka-Boom.
Forged pistons fitted correctly, are VERY quiet, and will stand the test of time.
One of the reasons we selected Wiesco to manufacture our pistons for us.
Did not realize 'till the other day that those folks offer automotive pistons as well. Glad we are involved with them.

Wiseco and CP make very good forged pistons. That being said, anything up to 10.5:1 you can run cast as long as you keep the revs under 6k. Forged, fitted properly are pretty quiet, but cast in a stock or mild build is quieter in my opinion.
