CP, Diamond or manley?

Blue Thunder · 01-22-2008, 11:55 AM

So i've started on my baby to turn my bullitt into a monster. Basically i'm doing a similar project to mm&ff's project ice box. For those of you with questions basically i'm getting a billet stroker kit to turn mine into a 302 5.0L with VT stage 2 blower heads and cams and then im topping it off with either a novi 2000 or T trim. This should net me between 600-750HP and low 11-mid 10's as a street legal car that will be driven 5 days a week. Thats the plan and it should come into full swing in the summer when i get a big paycheck...anyways ontoi my question....i have the option of getting either diamond, manley or the more expensive cp pistons i want my car to be bullet proff and extremely reliable and streetable while being powerful which of these pistons should i get for this combonation? Which is the best?

The Manley stuff is a better design I feel. They have thicker skirts, more pin boss material and now come with skirt coating. Can Beat that.
