ive been told cp are the best you can buy, and for rods, crower makes some real nice ones, or if you dont plan on running too much boost you can go for eagle rods, they are cheaper.

any brand rod as long as it's forged should be fine.

as for pistons you have these brands to choose from:
-Arias
-JE
-Wiseco
-CP
-Endyn
-and some others.

WRONG!!!!!!!!

Endyn Rollerwaves ARE the best. HANDS down. they can give you about 10-15 more wheel power on average above any other piston.
Hell they(cp and other manufacturers) don't even take the sharp edges off their pistons. pistosn are NOT suppsoed to have ANY sharp edges in the combustion chamber areas. not even in the valve releifs. it causes heat spots and thus promotes detonation. Endyn are the only "properly" prepaired pistons as well as their design is totally 100% unmatched.
