Advice is necessary to me: what pistons the most reliable for 383cid, rod6.0, 700hp w/200shot, CR 10-11.

Wiesco 14.8-1 pistons are what I am using with a 300 shot.
I also use in my 355 lt1 diamond pistons with ceramic coating

I think the ProTru pistons you were using are only rated to 400-450hp and NO nitrous!

I use Cometic Multi Layered Steel Head Gaskets .030.Mine is a stroker motor with tooled wrist pins and the block is clearenced for the crank.
I also use the H bearings coated.The pistons in the pic aren't for a real race motor.You never want sharp edges on a piston,everything needs to be smooth.
