Alright, So ive been reading about these pistons and am stumped on which ones to get, ive heard the YCP pistons are good pistons, I am not looking to boost my engine or anything over 250 hp, i just wanna get some better Pistons that anything Autozone will offer or whatever...its either between the YCP or Nippon CTR pistons, also would I need to get new rods in order to run these or could I make the stock ones work?

YCP are cast. Walk away. Nippon are 50/50, as far as reviews go. You shouldn't have to replace your con rods. It's worth keeping in mind, though, that stock con rods max out at around 200-220whp. Snap a rod, you might as well throw away the entire rotating assembly.

Get some CP or Weiscos, and some good con rods if you want to build it right and have it last more than a year.
