TRW forged pistons (340)

I am currently rebuilding my w2 340 that I initially built about 10 years ago around the speed pro version of this same piston and I am facing the same dilemma of whether to run this piston again. I have been upgrading some parts, namely the con rods to eagle h beams partially because of concerns of the piston weight and partially with a longer terml plan to build a stroker motor. I have also just installed the milodon four bolt main caps as well. For my intended rpm range of about 7200 rpm to get the w2s to work and with a stock stroke crank I will continue for now with this piston. But to build the stroker in the future I need a crank and new pistons. I think with the increased crank throw the trw piston is just too heavy. Some people say these old heavy slugs are darn near indestructible. But for a stock stroke the motor ran great with these heavy slugs.
