Whats a good set of pistons for around $700-$800?

I was thinking about reusing the old ones I have but theyre getting some pretty heavy buildup on the heads (Think I was running to rich).

You want forged, or just a replacement set?

Aftermarket pistons are only around $200-300 a set (without rings).

Im building the car for my mom and I doubt she'll be racing, But If I can get forged with rings for around 800 then Id like to do that.

Why would you get forged for an N/A? I doubt you'll have enough power to make it worthwhile.

It just seems like a better product. While I doubt my mom can throw enough abuse at the almighty 7M to break anything, I still want the piece of mind that its not gonna come down to the "you picked the cheap ass ones for my car" debate.

Well thats one way to waste a lot of money.

Unless your n/a is making some SERIOUS power, theres no reason for upgraded pistons. You not spraying are you?

And if your mothers driving the car, jsut keep it stock.

Exactly, the stock pistons are pretty strong. If it's that big of a deal just get new stock replacement pistons, the forged pistons aren't necessary in a stock N/A.

Those all look like they're for domestics, and no 7m on the Toyota page that I saw.

I went with overnightautoparts.com.

They had a stock set with rings for 200 which I think is a really good deal. Ill know when I get them though.
