Default Need forged pistons for 454 .030 oversize

Well, I brought my 454 mark 4 magnum down to the machine shop yesterday. This was block and crank. I had hoped that it would not require a bore, but it appears it does.
My question is... Is Summit racing the best value for forged pistons? I don't want to go radical with compression, I would like to keep the mild dome so I can run on pump gas. I have Gen VI heads so I assume that they are 118 cc.
Does anybody have a good set or two? I have not brought the 2nd engine down, it will likely need the same deal.
Thanks much.

Ive been using the L2399F+.030 pistons from speedpro. I usually get them in the engine rebuild sets from Summit for around $500 which is a good deal when the pistons alone are $400. Im in need of a set now also for another engine build. Let me know what you find.

I have a set of .030 8.0:1 hypernutectics in excellent shape if you are interested. You won't be able to beat the price.

If QUIK doesnt want them, email me at rogue2800 (at) hotmail.com with details. I need 9-1 with 119 chamber.

Hi Crazyhorse, been a long winter. Hope to fire the first motor tomorrow. Tom

Tom, I'm busting my hump trying to get the boat ready for this season. Another surgery is coming up and I won't be able to do any work after June 13.
