I=E2=80=99ve been running Wiseco pistons. Mine are flat top, made to =
order, and they will basically build them any way you want them. They =

six for the GT6 was $1,115 two years ago.  I suspect that=E2=80=99s gone =

Doesn=E2=80=99t help you with specs, but I have had good experience with =
them - both the pistons and the company to deal with.  Lead time in =
spring 2021 was about seven weeks.
