Hello,
I´m looking for pistons for a turbocharged slant. I have 198 and 225 rods. CR should be around 8:1.
Any suggestions ? How much punishment will the stock pistons take ?

I would >really< be inclined to use custom forged pistons. It is false economy to use inferior parts. You will end up spending more in the long run. Cast pistons will fail the first time you detonate under WOT. Hypereutectics will survive marginally longer.

forged is the way to go, but if you are not going to go over 10 lbs you don't need them!!!
I run a built slant that is turbocharged. the cast pistons hold up great with boost. But if you hear pinging, lift!!!!!!!!! If you really want to turn up the boost( over 10 lbs) get the forged pistons.
