Having just completed an engine build, I had an idea of the piston I wanted, but ended up with a different piston because of build parameters. Depending on what parts you are using, you may be limited.
I ended up with DSS forged pistons. We wanted a Mahle that utilized a 1mm 1mm 3mm ring pack, but we couldn't get the correct compression height for a standard 455 4.21" stroke. If you can get the Mahle with the small ring pack, I think that's the piston to go with, but consult your builder. I looked a bit and most of the KB stuff and the Speed Pro stuff still comes with the 5/64" ring lands. That may limit you to pistons like Ross, DSS, Mahle etc.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
