i dont think you will find pistons any cheaper than $500 unless you find a private seller. also i would jsut go with a stock HG

The stock HG is pretty good. Unless you're running over 20 psi, stick with the stocker. Always better to have the gasket blow before something else breaks.

go to ariaspistons.com

They have 8.8 ratio pistons, rings and wrist pins for $550 plus shipping. They should have them in stock.
