you can have some custom made (i think there is a thread out there where they are trying to get a few sets together). pretty much any builder of pistons will machine you a set if you give em the specs. they aint cheap but well worth it if you are running alot of boost (or sprayin)

let's put it this way, pistons are a great thing to add to your motor, I just did.

I will tell you this though...if you wanna save yourself the time, money, and hassel of pulling your motor out, pulling the pistons out, and having someone that acctually knows what they are doing and knows what will work for your car measure new pistons measurements for you, then I wouldnt go that route.

Rob at RRM has taken the time, money, and effort to do all of this for you and at a VERY good price. Your only problem is finding some with the skill to do the install. It is not something any amature could do on his own...

Road Race is by far the best way to go at present and I doubt they'll have that taken from them any time soon. Their price is good and they're JE Pistons if I remember correctly. If you plan on getting connecting rods as well (which I think everyone would HIGHLY recommend if you plan on raising boost later on) it may be economically sound to install both togther so that you don't have to take apart the block twice (or pay to have it taken apart twice).
