Default Arias LS pistons?

Is any one using Arias pistons in there LS engines? I am rebuilding my LS2 and was quoted
a package price with these in it, but I'm not sure if they are good for the LS, I have read
that their quality is great over all, but not sure if their design for the LS is proven as good as
others.


What are some other top quality brand pistons? Diamond , and Wisco are the other two
I have been looking at.


Thanks,

Riggs

I would let the builder decide, as long as they are willing to stand behind there work.

If you don't trust the builder to choose the best parts for you, find another shop.

Arias is a well known brand.

I trust the builder, I just what to make sure I am choosing the right parts for the LS.

I told the machinist that I was on a budget, so he is taking that into to consideration when
he quoted me an Eagle stroker crank and H beam rods with bearing, and Arias pistons
with rings, for around $2200. I have priced from Texas speed a Callies forged crank and
H beam rods, with bearings, Wisco or Diamond pistons with rings for around $2400.

My original question is, are the Arias pistons among the best for an LS application. I have
read the reviews about the Arias pistons in other types of motors, but couldn't find much
info about them being used in any LS motors.

Looking for anyone who has any info of them being used in the LS series motors with
out any failures under hard street use. The motor will see some serious abuse on the street
and some track use.

Is there any one else that has any experience with these brands in an LSX?
