will any of the high end pistons(ross,cp,wiseco,etc) fit on stock KA rods? im looking at around 350whp max. not planning on reving over 7k. I've heard rev kills rods not boost if all fuel/timing is right.

Most forged slugs use a stock wristpin size...

I've been considering doing the same, but having the rods cryo-treated. Most places run about $30-40 to do 4 rods. I was also planning on having the block done, usually about $200
