ive come to a fork in the road and cant decide which way to go. probe? JE? Wiseco? i like the price of probe but dont know the quality differences of the three choices. I am in need of block boring it needs at least .020 over and i would like forged internals. I am looking for at least 800 bhp and would like to run 22 psi minimum. any suggestions on which pistons to go with would be greatly appreciated.

800 HP? Hope you have deep pockets...you're gonna need a boat load of $$$ to prep a motor for that kind of power 
JE or CP pistons...better get a stout set of rods too.

i plan on getting eagle forged h beam rods and really 800 is a high bar if i see 500 ill be happy :icon_bigg considering ive never owned a car with more than 195 at the crank are probe pistons a good sturdy piston ive never heard of them
Well, I'll put it to you this way:
Cheap, Fast, Reliable
You get to pick two
I have not used Probe pistons, so I can't speak to the pros/cons...I do know JE and CP have/are being used in some very high HP builds.
The quality is without question.
I'd be just as (if not more) concerned about the head...especially the valve train components for that kind of HP.

my machinist said that my valves seated good and were in good shape they are stock though and they already decked the head and are decking the block as well
