piston recommendation

[RJK3]

I'm considering a 408 single turbo build.
I'm in possession of a new cast/hyper Scat kit for a 360. Using J heads with 2.02s.
I know the hypers aren't the best choice for a boosted app.
Could anyone give me some decent forged piston recommendations, trying to keep a budget in mind...lol

That's a pretty good price.
Are the reverse domed pistons ideal for a turbo application?
Please bear with me, I'm still learning.

I wouldn't use a cast crank OR hyper pistons on a turbo build....IMHO

 

[RJK3]

Yeah...it's not ideal, but it's what I have.
"Planning" on keeping it to 6-10psi.
Too much?
I got a pretty good deal on the whole kit, I may end up selling it and going all forged.
We'll see. ..

I think the scat crank will be fine.

I was thinking it would be OK in a street application, do you have a cam recommendation?
Planning on 3:55 gear.
No clue on converter yet either.

I just ordered my cam through Howards! Custom ground cam for under $150
Im running 360 but they recommended a 230 at .050 int and ext .556 lift on a 114 lobe seperation. Howard has .904 lifter designed cams also if you dont want to push the valve train they also have mild lobes(chevy style) that is easier on the valve train. I will be running a tight 3200 stall converter and 3.55 gears.

Are you building a street car? What rocker ratio?

Street truck, 1.6 ratio magnum style heads.

Gotcha, thanks for the info, man. Good luck with your build!
