The best forged piston money can buy!!!

Hello,
I am just wondering...
Which one is the best forged piston money can buy for heavily built Evo IX?
I was thinking that this piston have to be 2618 and with ofset pin (more timing)... or not???
I am talking about pistons for 700+++ whp Evo's.
Too many brands out there... but it must be something that is the best...

What do you think about Manley pistons???
They use 2618 alloy and maybe they have pin ofset!

I am between Cosworth 86mm or Manley 85.5mm or Buschur Spec JE.
I am wondering...
What alloy material is best? 2618 or 4032 ?
Do you have any performance pros with ofset pins or it is only for noise reduction and easy start up???

CP, JE, Mahle, Ross

I would definitely car about rods before I ever started to worry about a piston though.

You do not want a 4032 alloy piston for this application.

I think that CP and Cosworth is the same boost/power handling pistons.
The only think that Cosworth has more is the ofset wrist pins.
Probably I will go with the cossies.

If you really think Cosworth makes their pistons, you are mistaken. Cosworth is merely a name. ACL makes their bearings and XXXXXXX makes their cams. You are best served finding a good piston mfg and getting done what you need.
