I haven't found much info on these because most of it it all 2g stuff. I got a good deal on some evo rods/pistons. I know i can't use the rods, but the pistons use a 22mm wrist pin.. Can i just send these to a place like dsm graveyard (just an example)? What kind of power can these pistons see? After the piston install what would most likely be the weakest point of a stock block.
 
I know a couple of people running the evo forge 8.8:1 pistons and they love them.

Personally I really haven't felt performance difference between my weisco 9.0:1 and the evo 8.8:1 pistons. They are a great piston for the price though

As far as using six bolt rods, they need to be machines to fit the piston. I think they are 21mm and they need to be 22mm. You can send them the dsmgraveyard or really any machining shop. I know dsmgraveyard has the combo for sale.

Turbo spool time might be a bit faster(depends who you ask). It is a huge improvement from the stock 7.8:1, you will feel a power difference compared to stock.

6 bolt blocks are pretty damn strong, they can take a beating with evo piston and 6 bolt rod combo.

goodluck
