Which are better

 

Wiseco for sure. There 1400HD are quality. I prefer JE (same company), just my preference.

 

I cant say which is better but I have Wiseco 1400's

 

manley rods+weisco hd pistons=win.

 

^ I am running Wiseco HD's and Manley H beams

 

Wiseco's tend to be pretty heavy though.

As for shelf-stock, manley seems to have some pretty good options on compression ratio and compression height to work in long rod/stroker setups.

 

If I had a setup I didn't want to touch/replace again, it would be Wiseco HDs and Manley Turbo Tuff rods.

 

Wiseco HD and MAP ultimate duty rods, FTW!

 

What he said.

 

Sounds good, ive been debating on full manley rotating assembly to build a 2.2 or using manley turbo tuff crank 93mm, bc rods, and wiseco pistons to make optimum power

 

definitely wiseco pistons. I say manley rods though. Manleys pistons have a faughlty design so literally every set that was used recently in their new design ended up cracking and warping. The wiseco pistons design is a lot thicker with bigger wrist pins and are used by a lot of big name tuners in their high hp cars. Although manley was confronted about this problem and is completely redesigning their piston which should be released soon. I myself had this issue with manley and switched to the wiseco hd pistons

 

Same here on my recent 2.3L build. Everyone who I respect recommended Wiseco. CP is also a very good choice.

 

custom arias ftw!

 

wiseco 1400hd well worth the money

 

Any strutted piston (i.e Wiseco 1400HD) is better than a full circle at keeping skirt collapse away. I have seen Manley pistons crack in the skirt and bend the light duty wrist pins (.150 wall I believe). The Wiseco arent that much heavier but even then we take off the shelf pistons, put them in Jeff's car, and run low 8's. The 0.225 pin (JE offers a .250) and the pistons inherently quiet nature compared to other pistons at similar PTW make them my choice.
