    Piston Selection Keith Black Forged or Speed Pro Forged

     



    I was wondering which of the attached pistons or the ones listed below, FE FORUM users would recommend?

    I was leaning toward the Keith Black because they are ~147 grams lighter than the speed pro and have the modern style ring grooves as well as a half point higher compression.

    Any suggstions greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Josh
