Default wiesco or srp pistons for Lsvtec boost and should i upgrade my injectors?

My block has been rebored/honed and resleeve stock 81mm bore by GE. I have a GSR head and a custom turbo kit, SP Log manifold and 3" dp full exhaust T4OE Stage three turbine, tial wastegate, 550cc.... ready to put on, i got some Eagle rods already and now im looking for some pistons, and i have 550cc injector and should i upgrade them to something bigger??? which piston is best for daily driving and 15psi boost with Hondata tuning, DSR in San Jose will be the place for my tuning, but anyways which pistons should i go with and what compression would be best? i was thinking 9:1?? and what size injectors would be best?? Anybody with experience with LSVT please help!

SRP's have a higher silicone content which gives them less of an expansion rate also, which is good for a moderate street car. but at the same time theyre also a little bit weaker than a fully forged pistons such as a wiseco like u mentioned

It's your lucky day. I have a set of BRAND NEW CP 81mm pistons for sale. NEVER USED! Nothing is wrong with them, I just talked a customer into running a larger bore piston since I will be having his block darton sleeved.

$450 shipped for pistons, wrist pins/locks, and rings. Everyone else is going to advise for you to run CP by the way

Between Wiseco and SRP i would go with Wiseco but, CP is the way to go I can explain why, but i might get confused myself. Call CP they will put there pistons to the test

Do not buy CP pistons cus everyone says so. You will be another band wagon hopper. Do you homework/research and then choose wisely the product that you think will work best for you.
