ams has a combo..I think egale ods and ross forged pistons...there a bit pricy but worth every pennie from whta I hear.

im doing a build up right now, im going with ross pistons/eagle rods, all arp hardware, mls head gasket, clevit bearings, slow boy stage 3 head with all crower hardware, hks 272's, and for ailttle more get a magnus intake manifold u will be just fine with that .

this is the setup ill have at the end of this summer so we will see

Eagle/Ross combo is a good choice.
Also you should go with ARP main and head studs and make sure your machine shop uses a Torque Plate http://www.engintecs.com/gallery/album07/Torque_hone
and Align Hone the mains

Mitsu MLS gasket will require very straight and smooth surfaces on both Cyl Head and Block

All these will support more than you can throw at it if tuned right .
Don't forget an upgraded Head that produce that kind of power.

Whatever combo you choose, make sure you get a good machine shop to do your work. Otherwise your motor might end up less reliable than it was when it was stock.
