Glen,
I've had Venolia & Jahns custom build pistons for turbo engines over the 
years; equal success with both.  They'll work from your specifications; 
dish, cam grind, etc.  Full-float's my choice.
I've broken piston crowns,skirts, lands and ringsl.  ALSO...consider your 
choice of pins.  I've busted those as well...until I went with tapered-wall. 
  No problems after than.
Get ready to get off the dime!!!!
Good luck.
WFO Herb
